Pendower Beach — Local services in Philleigh

There are clean toilets but otherwise facilities seem limited - bring your own drinks, mini barbecue etc.

Ideal for couples, families with small children and mature people who just want peace and quiet. Noisy groups will probably...

One of the nicest beaches which, if the tide is out, is truly immense. We like the option of the walk up the valley behind the beach. Limited facilities and the poor state of the derelict hotel detract somewhat.

Revisited May 2023 and little has changed. With the tide out its the biggest and best beach in the area. The walk up the valley behind the beach is a delight and the cafe serves good coffee

If I have a complaint it's that the only bin is way above the cafe so a long walk from the car park. What happened to encouraging us to put things in bins? For me it loses a...
