Pentewan - all beaches

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.

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.

This stunning beach is conveniently located and requires only a short 200m walk on level ground to reach. The crystal-clear water and immaculate sand make for a picturesque setting, and visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim or simply soak up the sun. Please note that dogs are only permitted on the beach during the winter months, from November to March. It's worth noting that there are no restroom or other amenities available, so be sure to plan accordingly.

We stumbled upon one of the most beautiful and serene beaches. It's a delightful stroll through the woods to reach the cove if you park at the top of the hill.

This beach is perfect for families, although it's on the smaller side. We stumbled upon a charming little cafe called Coast Path Cafe just a short walk away, where I indulged in a scrumptious cream tea (which I devoured before snapping a photo). The beach is also dog-friendly and the owners are incredibly hospitable.

This secluded stretch of sand is an absolute gem, boasting breathtaking vistas that will leave you speechless. The water is as placid as a millpond, and the beach itself is a real beauty. As if that weren't enough, there are even restrooms and a dinky little snack bar to keep you fueled up and refreshed throughout the day. This destination is a real winner for the whole clan, and the cherry on top? You'll only have to hoof it a few minutes from the car park to get here.
