Tourist Information

Tregardock Beach is situated on the North Coast of Cornwall around halfway between Tintagel and Port Isaac, this beach is often forgotten about and empty and the reason for this is because the beach is quite difficult to get down to as its located at the end of a long footpath and then you have to climb down the rocks onto the beach making it inaccessible for the majority.

Tregardock Beach itself vanishes at high tide but as the tide drops away it reveals a stretch of golden sand with a shore scattered with rocks. The cliffs behind the beach are sheer edges with several caves and overhands so please beware of the cliffs when visiting. Down the North end of the beach you might see a shallow cave with a waterfall cascading down the cliffs in-front which is beautiful and well worth the time to visit during low tide. Around the beach you’ll find many rock pools full of marine life, along with the rocks surrounding them littered with mussels but please keep an eye on the ride as it comes in to ensure you’re safe at all times.

Swimming

Tregardock Beach is an ideal spot for swimming during calm days. However, it’s essential to assess the conditions before entering the water. For added safety, consider swimming in pairs or groups.
