This is a beautiful little low tide beach as it almost disappears at high tide. It is dog friendly, and other than being popular with cruisers it's never that busy. There is a National Trust car park at St Anthony's Lighthouse, and a public restroom, and the beach is just a five to ten minute walk from there, although there is nowhere to purchase food or drink so take your own. Other than that just sit back and enjoy the views

Beautiful beach, that is tucked away and quiet, with a great view of Falmouth and St Mawes (when walking to the beach). Be aware that you must go down some rocks which are 1 or 2 metres of the ground to get onto this beach, but there is a rope to help with climbing up and down

Tucked away far from any car park you would have to be local to know of it. Lovely golden sand beach, the shore slopes gently into the water so very safe for a swim.
