User reviews
"This beach is absolutely beautiful and can be reached within a 10-15 minute walk from Mevagissey harbor. However, please note that accessing the beach requires navigating a steep set of metal steps, which may become slippery when wet. As a result, individuals with limited mobility may find it difficult to visit this beach."
Ethan Thompson
"There is a beach near Mevagissey on the SWCP that consists of pebbles, sand, and seaweed. It is conveniently within walking distance. However, reaching the beach requires descending a steep path with wooden and metal steps. The metal steps have handrails for support. It's important to note that this beach is not suitable for wheelchair access."
