A great unspoilt beach which allows dogs all year and encourages responsible owners. There are so many places these days where you can go as a family, pet included, where you can enjoy the sea and have facilities on hand such as life guards and cafes.

Lots of body boarding/surfing going on.It is a very steep walk down from the VERY busy, small car park. The pub (Verdant brewery yay!) had a great selection of drinks and a delicious selection of pizzas on the menu. It inspired us to visit Verdant Brewery in Falmouth (which is also highly recommended!). We highly recommend a visit here. It's an absolute treasure for families. Wish we'd found it when my...
