Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Long Cove beach (Cornwall) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Long Cove beach (Cornwall) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Long Cove beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach is truly remarkable. It appears to be relatively undiscovered by tourists.

This beach in Cornwall has quickly become one of my favorite spots. It's secluded and the scenery is breathtaking. I even spotted some seals in the water! Plus, the sandy cove offers a great view of the bay.

This beach in England is simply amazing! It's tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with its soft sand, crystal clear emerald water, and waves. Plus, there are plenty of rocks to climb and explore the entire cove. You'll feel like you've been transported to the Caribbean!

This beach is a great spot for a peaceful day out. It's a bit of a trek if you're not staying nearby, but it's worth it for the sheltered swimming and the opportunity to enjoy a sunset BBQ.
