Latest reviews on Truro's beaches

Charlestown beach
2 Yvonne Barnes

Very rundown, not many ships to see. Car park £1.50 per hour. Toilets didn't work, require a credit card to swipe 20p but the ladies were permanently engaged, only the gents worked. Wouldn't bother, except one cafe does brilliant crab sandwiches.

Grebe beach
1 Polly Byers

Nice spot but zero facilities. Found my dog rolling in ‘something’ on the beach and no joke it was human 💩. LOTS of trauma. Also quite student-y, loo roll up in the car park too & don’t bother driving down as you’ll also get stuck (it’s banned anyway). Other than that it was great 😅.

Porthmeor beach
8 Arjun Patel

The beach offers a serene atmosphere and stunning vistas. There are a few cafes that offer a scenic view of the beach. It is an ideal spot for surfing, and there is even a surfing school available. Non-surfers can also enjoy watching the surfers in action.

Carlyon beach
10 Mark Tanner

This beach is great for taking your dog for a walk. The beach bar was a nice addition, although I'm not sure about their hours of operation. They also serve food, so it's definitely worth checking out.

Portreath Beach
10 Sarim.K

This beach is perfect for families with plenty of shops, food options, and restrooms. The car park is just a quick walk away from the beach. We stayed until sunset and it was a truly breathtaking experience.

Holywell Bay
10 Samantha Cruz

This beach is truly remarkable. We've been here a few times, both on our own and with the grandchildren. There are some incredible caves to explore, and the kids had a blast playing in the sand dunes and the river when the tide was out. It's a bit of a trek from the car park, but it's definitely worth it.
