When you visit Praa Sands you will be struck by how white the sand is, blinding in the sunshine and making the water a beautiful turquoise colour. This mile long sandy beach is backed with sheltering sand dunes and is easily accessible from the car park, perfect for families who can enjoy the shallow water, build sand dunes and bask in the sunshine while surfers can take on the surprisingly big waves out back.  

Just opposite the famous landmark of St Michael’s Mount lies Marazion Beach. Relax and take in the atmosphere in the Cornish sunshine, walk to St Michael’s Mount at low tide along the granite causeway, watch kite surfers zoom up and down the length of the beach or try out paddle boarding or sailing. With many rock pools to explore and facilities for sailing and windsurfing lessons there is always something to do on Marazion beach. Dogs are welcome expect between 1 May and end of September when a seasonal dog ban is in place.

Found at the mouth of the Hayle estuary, just two miles from the town of St Ives is a vast expansion of sands which can stretch up to a mile out to sea at low tide. The beach is backed by sand dunes and the West Cornwall Golf Club. There is life guard cover in the summer and the beach is dog friendly all year.
