Tucked at the bottom of a valley this beach feels like a
hidden secret. A short stroll up the coast path you’ll find the picturesque Wheal
Coates tin mine perched on the edge of the cliff and plenty of spots from the
filming of BBC’s Poldark. Don’t miss the famous ‘Hedgehog Ice Cream’ from the café
– Cornish ice cream, smothered with a thick layer of clotted cream and covered
in honey roasted hazelnuts – very naughty but so good!

Frequently ranked as one of the best beaches in the world,

Pristine fine white sand, the clearest turquoise water, a magical little house
built into the cliff and a stream flowing down one side of the beach for the little
ones to paddle and play in.
