on the sea

  • Beaches

    Kiln Quay Beach , Flushing : Gorgeous beach with views across the Fal with a great little cafe selling hot and cold drinks as well and home baked cakes and snacks. A few minutes walk from the cottage.

    Gyllyngvase Beach: One of the most popular beaches in Falmouth, a blue flag status beach, with a wide arc of golden sand and inviting sea. Whilst being slightly further away from Falmouth centre than Castle or Tunnel Beaches it is still only a 10 minute walk. This one usually feels slightly busier.

    Swanpool Beach : Delightful cove with an adjoining nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The beach has an excellent water sport centre- Elemental- where you can try your hand at dinghy sailing, kayaking or windsurfing. There is a bouncy Castle located on the beach during the summer for smaller children.This was always our favourite with the children- brilliant seafood place Hooked on the Rocks- just above the cove. Car park just opposite the beach or you can park for free further up the road.

    Meanporth : A lovely sandy cove with a cafe and car park. Slightly quieter than the others
