Beach overall scores
Sandways beach (Cornwall) is located outside the Kingsand settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Sandways beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is a hidden gem that I had unknowingly passed by for four years while doing the circular #iwalkcornwall route from Mount Edgcumbe. It features unique rock formations formed by gas bubbles from volcanic activity. It's a great spot for swimming and offers shaded areas for those who, like me, prefer not to be exposed to the sun all day."

"According to my son, this is the best beach he has ever visited. I must admit, it was absolutely magnificent!"
