Widemouth Bay Beach is located just south of Bude in North Cornwall. This wide expanse of golden sandy beach stretches just under 2 miles. Widemouth Bay is a beautiful spot for families to come and relax while still having great facilities near by. Exposed to the Atlantic Ocean which can only mean one thing, surfers are always nearby, although you’re exposed to the elements there is shelter along the sand dunes.
…
Whitsand Bay is located in South East Cornwall and situated near Saltash. This is potentially one of the longest and best stretches of beach in Cornwall. Whitsand is made up of 4 miles of sand towards low tide and several small coves and beaches join up here. Access to the beach is down a steep cliff paths from the car park at either end, the easiest way down is near Tregantle Fort leading to Long Sands Beach. Another car park is near Sharrow Point and leads down to Freathy and Tregonhawke Beach.
…
Watergate Bay Beach at low tide is a wide golden sandy beach which backs on to high cliffs and is considered to be one of the best surfing beaches around Newquay with the Atlantic swell coming in. The bonus of this being slightly outside Newquay around 2 miles and at low tide you can still easily find yourself a quiet spot on here. Watergate is popular with surfers but also popular with families as this beach offered a large expanse of sand for activities with the children.
…
Treyarnon Bay Beach is a beautiful sandy beach located near Padstow in North Cornwall. This beach is backed by sand dunes and at low tide is around half a mile long and north facing. This is also a popular surfing beach with breaking points to the right and a bigger one on the reef at the left.
…
Trevone Beach is a popular destination for surfers and families with the main beach being a sandy inlet that is deeper than it looks and to either side of that is a golden expanse of golden sand with rocky ledges and hold great rock pools for the kids to discover marine life.
…
Trevaunance Cove is the main beach located in St Agnes. Sheltered by high cliffs with plenty of space to sit down with the family all year round, perfect for exploring in rock pools and finding cornish marine life including the few caves located around. During low tide this beach reveals a large area of rocks and rock pools with also the option of walking to the neighbouring beach of Trevallas Porth although we strongly recommend you keep an eye on the tide or you will need to take the coastal path back which involves scaling a high cliff.
…
Towan Beach is a great family beach located near Newquay Harbour and right in the town, many may call this ‘Town Beach’ mistakenly but it’s actually Towan. Towan Beach is one of Newquay’s most sheltered beaches backing onto Newquay aquarium and overlooked by Walkabout, making it an ideal family beach with plenty of space at low tide and waves being generally small makes it also a great beginner surfing beach.
…
Tolcarne Beach is one of the bigger beaches which at low tide connects all neighbouring beaches together. Tolcarne is a steep walk down and the beach backs on to high cliffs which can protect you from the wind. At low tide it joins up with Great Western and Lusty Glaze but at high tide is cut off so please check tide times when visiting. This beach is a great family friendly beach but being located in Newquay it can get busy during summertime as its great for the family but please be careful as the cliffs are eroding at a fast rate so we advise not to sit underneath them if you can help it!
…
Swanpool Beach is located in West Cornwall and situated near Falmouth, precisely around half a mile from the town center. Swanpool beach has something for everyone from families to people who love nature. Swanpool beach is a sheltered and generally safe beach to swim in as its on the south east coast it doesn’t have any Atlantic waves but please be careful if you enter the water as there is no lifeguard cover. The beach is composed of golden sand with a few rocks during low tide. A popular feature about this beach is Swanpool Beach Cafe, not open all year round but its ice cream is the hit there.
…
Sumerleaze Beach is located in the town of Bude. This beach is popular for many reasons, vast space for the family, golden sand and its radical waves crashing in, however, during summer months it may feel crowded during high tide but at low tide there is a vast amount of room to play with the family or do activities on the beach.

Discover Cornwall’s idyllic destinations, where rolling hills meet quaint towns and fishing villages brimming with heritage.
Truro is the only city in Cornwall, its Cathedral towering above the skyline with its green spire and gothic aesthetic. The Cathedral was built at the start of the 1900s 250 feet in the sky with great big Victorian stained glass windows and the south aisle is one of the finest pieces of medieval architecture in Cornwall. Originally a market town and port way back over 800 years and boomed with the rest of Cornwall during the tin mining era.
Sennen is located in West Cornwall, surrounded by a beautiful coastline, and has arguably one of the best beaches in Cornwall. This old fishing village is located in a remote part of Cornwall and just behind it is Land’s End the furthest westerly point in the mainland England. Sennen is still a small village to date but has everything you need to enjoy a day out, around the village it’s full of local independent stores which are supported by the locals during downtime in the winter.
Rock is the neighbouring town to Padstow, just across the Camel estuary. Rock got its name from a local quarry where rocks were used as ballast by ships that had unloaded the cargo at Padstow; this quarry has now been replaced as a car park. In recent years Rock has seen great investment brought into this small town, bringing all kinds of celebrities to buy second homes here including Royal Family members, and now Rock is often referred to as ‘Chelsea-on-Sea’ with there being multiple million-pound homes, villas, and apartments hidden amongst the trees on the edge of the cliffs.
Port Isaac is a small fishing village built into a cliffside with interesting buildings surrounding the port. The narrow and winding streets are full of white-washed old fisherman cottages made from traditional granite, slate fronted houses which many are listed as of historic importance. Port Isaac now is a beautiful port full of life, still has a small working fishing fleet but is now seen as a place that tourists flock to see the beautiful harbour and walk the narrow pathways around.
Located near the River Camel Estuary is the small village of Polzeath. This village is a well known place for surfers and beach lovers to come and explore. Around Polzeath is many holiday cottages and throughout the small village are restaurants and pubs serving up fresh local fish from Padstow and nice cool Cornish Cider all day, so after you’re done with a coastal walk or relaxing on the beach, take a trip to the local establishments and support the locals that live in this village.
Polperro is located south of Looe. A small Cornish seaside town steeped in great history, from its fishing heritage to a smuggling haven for pirates, with its small back alleys and accessible caves to move the untaxed goods around. Now the town of Polperro is a beautiful quaint village whose narrow streets and pretty cottages remain undeniably attractive. Many of the cottages are covered with beautiful flowers in the summer. The winding streets are so narrow they are forbidden to cars, so using the century-old footpath to explore is ideal.
Perranporth was once a mining village but now attracts thousands of tourists every year, full of family-friendly resorts with miles of golden sand. In Perranporth village there are a few places to eat, along with great coffee shops and beach activity shops, just through Perranporth are two small streams which wind through the town and sides of cottages.
Penzance is a thriving town packed with local shops for everything you need, from our favourite Cornish pasty to small homeware shops. Built on everything you relate to Cornwall like mining, agriculture, and fishing, this once small village has now become a favourite seaside resort for tourists, seeking scenic views with a good transport system and golden beaches for the family.
Padstow was and still is a busy fishing port as it was once back in Elizabethan times, now the local fishermen supply the multiple restaurants within the town. Padstow plays a major part in the tourism industry in Cornwall, welcoming millions each year to a little bit of Cornish life. Tourism first boomed when the railway in 1899 was built, running a regular service between London and Padstow and since the town has thrived on tourism.
Newquay was originally a fishing port of Towan Bilstra before the new quay was built in the fifteenth century. Among other things the quay was used for the import and export of mined ore and coal and for many years the main industry was fishing for pilchards and salting. Although pilchard fishing died out years ago this fishing town still has a working harbour, although it’s hard against the big swells of the Atlantic, they still manage to get out when the weather is good.
