Upton Towans Beach — Attraction in Gwinear-Gwithian

This was the most beautiful beach we have ever seen! It's quite difficult to find and access, and so unsuitable for pushchairs or wheelchair users. We eventually managed to drive down to the surrounding hillside and walk across, past a freshwater lake and cobbles to this stunning beach.

Our cat loved exploring the rocks, and we had a blast building sandcastles. It’s also a perfect place to catch stunning sunsets....
