Latest reviews on Gwithian's beaches

Porthminster beach
10 Kadeem Alvarado

This shoreline boasts crystal-clear waters and powdery sand that will take your breath away. If you're traveling with little ones, you'll be pleased to know that during peak season, a dedicated team of volunteers is on hand to entertain and engage your children in a variety of activities. For those looking to explore the water, there are plenty of rental options available nearby, including kayaks, paddle boards, and comfortable deck chairs. While there are toilet facilities on site, it's worth noting that parking can be a bit of a challenge on crowded days. However, once the tide recedes, you'll have the opportunity to stroll to the neighboring beach and take in even more of the scenery.

Porthmeor beach
8 Arjun Patel

The beach offers a serene atmosphere and stunning vistas. There are a few cafes that offer a scenic view of the beach. It is an ideal spot for surfing, and there is even a surfing school available. Non-surfers can also enjoy watching the surfers in action.

Carbis Bay beach
10 Larina Conkley

The beach is absolutely fantastic! Although parking at the Carbis Bay Hotel is available, keep in mind that it's limited and can be quite pricey at £20 per day. Alternatively, there are other car parks located down the road, but be prepared for a steep hill climb. For a more affordable option, we parked at St Erth train station which is just a short 10-minute drive away. The all-day parking fee is only £3.90, and you can easily hop on the train to reach Carbis Bay in no time.

Bamaluz Beach
10 B-Money

This charming beach is a must-visit. It offers stunning views of St Ives Bay. The tide rarely stays above sea level for long, making it accessible most of the day. The beach is consistently well-maintained and free of litter.

Portreath Beach
10 Jenna Greene

This beach is perfect for families with plenty of shops, food options, and restrooms. The car park is just a quick walk away from the beach. We stayed until sunset and it was a truly breathtaking experience.

Gwithian beach
10 Samson Grillins

This beach is absolutely stunning, the most beautiful one we've ever seen! It can be a bit tricky to find and access, making it not ideal for those with pushchairs or in wheelchairs. After driving down to the surrounding hillside and walking past a freshwater lake and cobbles, we finally reached this breathtaking beach. Walking barefoot along the long and beautiful stretch of sand felt like a slice of Heaven - peaceful, spacious, and calming. The beach was virtually deserted, with the soothing sound of the waves and the vast blue sky above. We enjoyed watching the surfers and collecting rocks and pebbles. The only downside was that many people brought their dogs to the beach, which wasn't a problem except for the occasional bag of dog waste left at the entrance, tarnishing an otherwise beautiful spot.
