Family Beaches
Things to Do: Beaches
Penhale Sands, together with Perran Sands and Perranporth Beach form a three mile stretch of golden sands. Large sand dunes back the beaches and are fun to explore. The beaches are popular with surfers.
Access to St Mary's Bay may be difficult but if you persevere you will find a delightful sand and shingle stretch of beach at the bottom of the cliffs.
A family friendly beach that benefits from a safe swimming zone and is close to crazy golf and children’s amusements. There are also several windsurfing and sailing schools on the beach for those who want to join the fun on the water.
Durdle Door East Beach, West Lulworth, Dorset
Sand and shingle beach at the Durdle Door coastal arch.
Steep steps lead down to this un-commercial beach at one of Dorset’s most recognisable coastal features. Although the water is fairly sheltered near the arch swimmers should be careful as the beach does drop away quite quickly.
Portreath Beach, Portreath, Cornwall (North Coast)
Atlantic beach adjoining a small harbour, enclosed by rock pools and cliffs
Portreath offers a busy Atlantic beach that adjoins a small working harbour which, in turn, is enclosed by rock pools and steep cliffs. The resort incorporates many facilities and serves both visitors and residents from the nearby towns of Camborne and Redruth.
