Harlyn Bay Beach

Highlight • Beach

Harlyn Bay has all you could want in a beach; sand, rock pools, dunes, safe seas, beginner friendly surf and summer lifeguards.

There is a cafe at the north east end of the bay, next to the car park if you need nourishment or a surf school if you've got any extra energy to burn.

Natural Arch at Porthcothan Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

For Poldark fans, this was the beach used as Nampara Cove for the popular BBC series. The cliffs above are where Ross was frequently seen riding his horse.

Although small where Porthcothan Bay meets land, at low tide it widens out to reveal a network of coves and caves at either end of the beach.

There are public toilets, plus a shop and lifeguard cover during the summer (May to September).

Bedruthan Steps Rock Formations

Highlight • Viewpoint

Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps comprise an iconic stretch of coastline synonymous with shipwrecks and smugglers. The granite rocks that are dotted across the beach are stepping stones for the Giant Bedruthan, according to legend. You can access the golden sands of the beach via a steep and narrow set of steps cut into the cliffs at low tide.
