Porthgwidden is a small, sandy beach which is popular for those families with small children. It is a delightful sun-trap with safe bathing and lifeguards on patrol during the summer season. The beach is convenient for the town and also has a good restaurant close by.
Gorran Haven Vault Beach, Gorran Haven, Cornwall (South Coast)
Long sandy beach beneath heather covered cliffs.
A long, sandy beach set beneath tall, heather covered cliffs. Although the access can be difficult it is a safe beach for familes.
A small pebbled cove close to the harbour and town centre providing some respite from the bustle of a busy resort.
Durdle Door West Beach, Nr 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.
