Towan Beach (Cornwall) is located outside the Bohortha 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.

User reviews
"Cornwall's beach that I adore the most is not overly populated. It's a perfect spot for fishing, sunbathing, and swimming. During our rainy walk, we had the entire beach to ourselves! However, parking is not free, and the car park is small, so it's best to arrive early to secure a spot."
Lia Kellman
"The vast expanse of the beach comprises both pebbles and velvety sand, offering a diverse texture to explore. With convenient access, the beach is a popular spot, bustling with visitors due to the availability of two car parks. It's worth noting that the beach is pet-friendly, welcoming your furry friends to join in on the fun."
