Latest reviews on Saltash's beaches

Cawsand beach
10 Kamal Ali

This beach is a true hidden treasure! It boasts exquisite stretches of sand and captivating rock pools that are just waiting to be explored. Additionally, visitors can indulge in a delicious treat from the ice cream van or rent paddle boards for a fun-filled day on the water. The beach is the perfect size for families, as it's small enough to keep a watchful eye on the little ones yet large enough for them to roam and discover. Keep in mind that parking may be a challenge during peak season, but the experience is undeniably worth the effort!

Looe beach
8 Kieran Smithson

This charming beach is quite pleasant with all the necessary amenities, such as restrooms and ice cream shops, conveniently located nearby. However, the only drawback is the lengthy hike from the large parking lot on the outskirts of town with all of your belongings. Additionally, as evidenced by my photos, the beach can become quite crowded, resulting in a dense population on the sand.

Millendreath Sea Pool
2 Lila Anderson

To be frank, the pool vicinity seems to be in a state of disarray and has been for quite some time. It seems that instead of fixing the issues, they have put in minimal effort to ensure safety. Nevertheless, the adjacent shoreline is one of our preferred destinations.

Seaton beach
10 Kellan Hayes

The beach, located just 3 miles from Looe, is always a pleasant experience and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. It's popular with dog walkers and the beach cafe offers reasonably priced food with friendly and efficient service. The beach offers beautiful sea views in both directions, but parking is limited to a few dozen metered spots right by the beach. Despite some local flooding and nearby fields turning into ponds on the day we visited, it was still an enjoyable experience.

Tregantle beach
10 Niraya Kavindu

Tregantle beach is an absolute gem worth exploring. During our off-season visit, we found ourselves with the entire beach to bask in its beauty. It was an idyllic experience that left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Wembury beach
10 Lark Everly

We went to Wembury on a windy day and took a walk along the coastal path to see the Great Mewstone before heading back along the beach. We used our national trust membership for parking. It's a fantastic coastal spot with toilet facilities. Unfortunately, the cafe was closed for the winter when we visited on a Thursday.

The warmest month during the year in this area is July, with the air temperature rising up to 19.8°C and the water temperature up to 16.5°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 8.4°C and the water temperature down to 10.5°C.
