A beautiful beach, with a wide stretch of sand. There are a couple of lovely cafes located on the beach with high quality, delicious food and drinks. The beach is perfect for walks or sunbathing. There are many dogs on the beach too. As it's the North Coast, the waves can be choppy and rip tides, so do be careful when body boarding etc. But there are also life guards watching, please stay safe !!! Beautiful beach with a natural outdoor swimming pool. Also great sunsets.

Was there from Holiday Caravan Park for a shot stay last summer. Nice beach, tasty Cornish pies. Weather wasn't good enough for the summer, but pies are wonderful.
