Family

Sheltered cove with toilets, a pub, and watersports hire; easy slipway access, though beach itself is small at high tide.

Fishing

Visit Cornwall and the beach operator confirm that the harbour wall is used for fishing. Adequate independent exact evidence for species, seasons, baits and tide stages was not found, so the page should verify the activity but not generate a catch list.

Crabbing

rock pooling only — The operator documents shore crabs in low-tide rock pools. No exact hook-free line-crabbing position or permission was verified on the harbour wall.

Access & parking

Short walk down from the village car park to the beach; slipway and stone quay provide shelter and easy sea access. Sat-nav: PL24 2TL. Get directions →
