Durgan (NT) - all beaches

Nice spot but zero facilities. Found my dog rolling in ‘something’ on the beach and no joke it was human 💩. LOTS of trauma. Also quite student-y, loo roll up in the car park too & don’t bother driving down as you’ll also get stuck (it’s banned anyway). Other than that it was great 😅.

What a stunning shoreline! The sea is so transparent that you can see the bottom. The sand is spotless, and there are plenty of amenities nearby, including parking, restrooms, and a fantastic beachside café.

This beach is absolutely fantastic, complete with a charming little cafe and convenient parking. It's particularly wheelchair-friendly, as they provide a beach wheelchair that can be reserved at the cafe. The sand near the parking and cafe area is soft, while it becomes firmer as you approach the sea. Additionally, there are some delightful rock pools scattered along the edges of the beach.

This stunning beach is an ideal location for families and those looking for a refreshing swim. Even in the late afternoon, we were captivated by the sight of children frolicking in the cool waters. Despite the overcast weather, the crystal-clear water glistened like diamonds. The beach is immaculately clean, with a mixture of sand and shingle that adds to its charm. A nature reserve is located opposite, and a pay and display car park is conveniently situated nearby. We would undoubtedly return to this breathtaking beach for another unforgettable experience.

We arrived around 7pm on Thursday night and fished for about an hour, catching mackerel for breakfast. Although there are signs indicating no overnight stays, we stayed in the corner without any issues. The place empties out around 6pm and people start arriving between 7am and 8am, but it never gets crowded. It's a charming little spot to stop by. There's also a donation box, so please consider donating if you stay here—it's the least you can do :)

The path leading to the beach is quite challenging and unstable due to the erosion of the steps. As per the National Trust's recommendation, it is best to avoid going down for your own safety.
