Cornwall Beaches

With a coastline stretching for over 250 miles Cornwall has no shortage of fantastic beaches and coves, over 150 to put a number on it. These range from secluded, barely accessible rocky coves to huge expanses of golden sand on the Atlantic coast.

Here at Cornwall Beaches we have compiled a list of most of these beaches complete with maps and beach photos. To make life easier we have presented the guide by region and include details of nearest towns. We have also provided information on surfing, lifeguard cover and which beaches are dog friendly. Hopefully you will find this beach guide useful and even if you aren't planning a day out in Cornwall you can enjoy our beautiful photos.
