Beaches
Here is some information about a few of our favourite beaches in the area.
The Cornwall County Council website has useful information about beach safety, which beaches have lifeguards during high season and the dates that they patrol the beaches. Please be aware that currents can be strong and unpredictable.
This is a beautiful beach and usually much quieter than many others in the area. To walk to Portheras Cove, turn right out of the drive and join the coast path just after the lighthouse. There is a short-cut across the field, which is signposted. There is no lifeguard and there is some climbing over rocks
