This is one of the best stretches of golden sand in Cornwall and is popular with both families and surfers. The area behind the beach is owned by the National Trust and the walk through the coastal grassland and heath land is well worth the effort.
The beach boasts rock pools at its northern and southern ends at low water. There are substantial sand dunes along its eastern boundary, which adjoins a golf course. Take one of the many coastal paths for a scenic stroll.
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.
Trevone Bay is located to the south of Trevose Head and to the north of Harlyn Bay. This gently shelving, sandy beach is surrounded by cliffs and situated in an area of great geological interest. There is ample parking during the summer season.
As night falls you will witness from a heated hide, wild badgers emerging from their Sett to feed, not to mention frequent visits from Owls, Foxes, Rabbits and Bats. The area is floodlit providing a unique view of the noctunal world.
