My recent visit to Kennack Sands was an absolute delight. The beach was pristine, and the water was crystal clear, making for a refreshing swim. The jovial atmosphere was contagious, with groups of people enjoying barbecues, drinks, and beach games. I would certainly relish the opportunity to visit this idyllic location again.

This location boasts two exceptional beachside cafes, one of which is licensed as a pub. The beaches themselves are simply delightful, although it's important to keep an eye on the tide as it can cut off access to certain areas. Fear not, however, as the coastal path provides a scenic route back to the main beach. Overall, a truly enchanting spot.

Whenever I visit the beach, I prefer to stay at the caravan park and take a leisurely walk down to the shore. However, I have observed that the parking arrangements have been altered for other visitors. Despite this, the beach is undeniably beautiful. Although it may not be the most picturesque, it offers a serene ambiance and stunning vistas. During peak hours, a vigilant lifeguard is on duty to ensure everyone's safety. Additionally, the beach boasts rock pools that are perfect for children to explore and enjoy.

The beach is truly delightful. While it may not be everyone's preference due to the grey sand, it is perfect for building sandcastles and enjoying children's activities. The sand is also soft and comfortable for sunbathing. The sea is crystal clear, as is typical in Cornwall, and there are charming rocky areas to discover and a stream to play in and build dams. The cafe is only open during certain seasons, so be sure to plan accordingly. Additionally, the car park has ANPR, so if you exceed your allotted time, remember to purchase more or risk receiving a ticket.

The beaches are absolutely delightful, and what's even better is that they are pet-friendly! The surrounding area is simply stunning, with a holiday park just a short five-minute stroll away, offering breathtaking views. We loved our stay so much that we are already planning our return trip for next year. The photos we took from our holiday caravan perfectly capture the beauty of this place.
