Perran Sands, together with Penhale 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.
Sandy beach set in a small cove, a 20 minute walk from Mevagissey. The beach is around 150 metres long but is completely covered at high tide. At low tide there are plenty of rock pools to explore. Swimming here is considered safe but there are no lifeguards on patrol. On some occasions Seals can be seen swimming off the beach or resting on the rocks.
Located next to Portland Harbour in one of the most tranquil areas of Weymouth, Sandsfoot is a small sandy beach which is great for getting away from it all.
A shingle beach set in a bay beneath the highest point on the south coast, the imposing Golden Cap. The beach is great for collecting fossils and is also very popular with fishermen.
Shell Bay is a beautiful sandy beach with easy access by road or ferry. The fine sand is ideal for building sand castles and there are dunes to explore too. There is also a woodland nature trail behind the beach.
