The Beaches of Cornwall

We are listing 161 Cornish Beaches, select the most suitable type for a full list.. or use the map below to locate your area.. Make sure you check for further details regarding lifeguards (these are seasonal and dates/times differ widely from beach to beach), surfing (some beaches are not suitable for beginners) and dog friendly (again, many have summer bans, but are fine in the autumn and winter).
