As a family beach you can't beat it. Massively wide. All the facilities you need thanks to the camp site it's on.
When at low tide, you get large sand flats that give a wide open space safe for kids.

The whole park is spotless as usual and the toilet blocks are cleaned more often, so time you needs right! Haven't had anything to eat from the on site facilities yet, so can't say anything about them yet. Beach is perfect and the sun is out, so all in all book and enjoy Pentewan. Yes we will be...
