More about these ideas

These are the easy beaches for a family day out: sandy, with toilets and parking nearby, and either lifeguards in season or good bathing water. Each beach page has the map, facilities, dog rules and the latest water quality rating.

Swim between the red and yellow flags when the lifeguards are on, and keep an eye on the tide. See also the beaches with lifeguards, dog-friendly beaches and beaches with parking, or browse every beach on the Cornwall beaches map.
