The beach is popular with families and surfers alike. There are good coastal walks from the beach but if you are walking along the beach you should be careful of the tide. The South West Coast Path along the top of the cliffs north towards Chapel Porth makes a wonderful scenic walk.
Cliffs and rocky headlands dominate and provide a great variety of wildflowers. The area is classed as a Heritage Coast and walking is recommended, but keep an eye on the tide. There is a National Trust area nearby and with this comes a car park and café
This is one of the most beautiful coves in Cornwall and has been popular with sightseers since Victorian Times. The sandy beach has numerous caves to explore and although swimming is possible you should be wary of the tides.
The small sheltered cove has a gently sloping sandy beach. There are plenty of good walks along the South West Coast Path overlooking the Fowey estuary and harbour. A walk up to St Catherine’s Castle provides excellent views. The tidal rock-pools hold interesting seashore life.
