Description

Fantastic sandy beach situated between Port Isaac and Tintagel.

There is no beach at high tide so make sure you check the times before you go there.  Access to the beach is via a broad pathway that has been cut into the rock.  The beach is washed clean twice a day by the tide, and has many caves and rock pools to explore.  

There is easy access to the coastal path where you can enjoy spectacular walks to the neighbouring villages. 

Half way up the western cliff, is the Port William Inn from where you will get a commanding view over the beach.

There is a small private car park close to the beach, but the main car park is a bit of a hike, up the hill

Description

Just west of Mevagissey, Pothluney Cove, is a hidden treasure of  beach – you’re unlikely to stumble upon it by accident.  In the shadow of Caerhays Castle, it’s reached by a narrow road that’s off the beaten track.

The ample car park is adjacent to the beach and includes a beach shop that also provides some basic hot and cold food.  Between the shop and the beach are the public toilets.  These are amongst the most basic I’ve seen in this country – the urinal is basically a 6ft wall.

The beach is large and clean with good sand.  There is easy access to the costal path, but this is not most interesting stretch.

There is still some sand at high tide – it’s an ideal all-day beach.
