Just outside St Ives. There's a massive beach.
Trebarwith Strand is great too.

Porthmeor Beach is in St Ives.

We love the bays around Padstow. Treyarnon, Trevone, Porthcothan and Constantine.
Holywell Bay is lovely too.

I've not been to many but loved trebarwith strand. Not the easiest to access though.

Trebarwith strand near tintagel is my ideal beach. Cliff walks, lovely pub overlooking the sea, cute little trinket/wetsuit/ice cream shops, rockpools, calm waters and a huge sandy beach. If your going though make sure you check the tide times, as if you go when the tide is in there is no beach as it comes right up to the car park.

Porthcurno is my fav! Always go there when I have beach days (10 min drive from me!)

On further inspection Kynance Cove looks tiny

Yes! There's a pub and a cafe next to the car park but the walk down to the beach takes 5 mins or so. There's normally a man that walks around the beach selling ice creams too Smile

Privileged to live in the South West. Beaches at Rock are favourite in Cornwall. Miles to walk and can take dog even if visitors from outside the area (Grockles) moan about dogs. Love it.

Porthcurno or Kynance. You are so tide dependent at Kynance though - and it’s a slog back up if laden down with beach stuff.

I think @Blueuggboots means Carbis Bay, which is the beach of my childhood. That’s one of my favourites, followed by ‘meor over the other end of St Ives (but the large sand is not as nice). I also like the Bluff end of Hayle. Porthcurno might be more beautiful but is not as good a swimming beach

We go to a lovely one, not too many people, little cafe. Great, chilled vibe. I'm not telling anyone where it is though.

Yes, Porthcurno is the best. Local.

I adore Chapel Porth, but it is tiny and very dependant on the tide.. Missing the sea so much.
