Sandways Beach

Sandways Beach Cawsand is a beach near Torpoint, and visitors rate it 4.6 out of 5. It suits families because it is good for children, and the tide shapes the shore through the day.

What to expect

This is a beach, so bring the usual sand and sea kit. Cawsand is tidal, so the shore changes as the water moves. Low water opens up more beach to explore. It makes a simple stop with children, and you can plan the visit around the tide.

Pack a picnic, wear shoes you can walk in, and keep an eye on the water line as the tide turns. Children can stay close while the shallows shift, because the shoreline is never the same two hours running.

Planning your day

Cawsand sits on the Rame Peninsula as a twin village with Kingsand, looking out over Plymouth Sound. If you drive, the Cornwall Council car park in the village has 139 spaces. It is the easiest place to leave the car before you walk down. You can reach the village by road via the B3247, and a seasonal ferry runs from the Barbican in Plymouth, so a car-free day works too. Then walk the twin village shore to Kingsand if you want to stretch the day out.
