Gwithian / Godrevy Beach, Nr St Ives, Cornwall (North Coast)
A beautiful sandy beach with excellent views across the bay
This is one of the best stretches of golden sand in Cornwall and is popular with both families and surfers. The beach is also used for horse riding and kite surfing, as there is a large expanse of sand at low tide.
This beach has great views across the bay and is ideal for sunbathing and beach games. Swimming is good but you should stay between the flags and avoid the estuary. There are also good walks across the dunes (The Towans) if you want to get away from the beach.
Porthcurno Beach, Penzance, Cornwall (South Coast)
A small cove with golden white sand and striking cliffs
Owned by the National Trust this glorious beach offers golden white sand and turquoise blue sea. The outdoor patio area of the friendly beach side café is the perfect spot to enjoy a clotted cream tea and savour the views.
The beach is quieter than some of the others in Poole and is popular with locals. The water is clean and safe and the beach is an ideal place to visit with or without children.
Bantham Beach, Nr Kingsbridge, Devon (South Coast)
A large expanse of sand with sand dunes and rock pools
The sandy beach is very popular with families and has numerous rock pools and sand dunes to explore. It also benefits from good surf and is popular with both surfers and windsurfers.
