There’s a good reason why more than 5 million people visit Cornwall each year—a it’s refuge for coastal animals. It’s a lovely location with much to see and do. A sizable portion of these tourists travel to the coast throughout the summer to enjoy the seashore. The beach is never really far away due to the size and form of Cornwall. You can count on finding high-quality amenities, such as upscale restaurants, motels, and fantastic beachfront cafés.

The surfing Cornwall is another top notch location. There are several additional water activities available, including coasteering, wind surfing, and sand yachting. Long lengths of golden sand, vibrant surf towns, secret rock pools to uncover, a coastal golf course, and exclusive sunbathing areas can all be found on East Cornwall’s beaches.

East Cornwall’s beaches extend all the way to St. Mawes, passing via Mevagissey, Fowey, Polperro, Looe, and on to the breathtaking Whitsand Bay. From here, the coastline arcs around the Rame Peninsula and continues in the direction of Cawsand and Kingsand, which are close to Plymouth. As you travel farther east, the beaches tend to get more shingly after starting off quite sandy. Pendower, Porthluney Cove, and Pentewan all have notable sandy beaches. As you head east, you’ll find Whitsand Bay, which is long and sandy with popular beaches to visit like Long Sands or Tregantle beach.

The following beaches are worth visiting and may be explored on foot by following the South West Coast Path along the stretch of Cornish coast from East Looe to the Rame Peninsula. In general, it’s crucial to be completely aware of tide timings if you want to walk along these coastline lengths because certain parts are only accessible to go through at low tide and there may be a risk of becoming stuck or cut off by the sea if you don’t.
