Spend the week in Falmouth - the third largest natural harbour in the world. Take a boat trip along the Carrick Waters to a smuggler's cottage, or hop on the ferry to St Mawes. Visit the Maritime Museum, great for children with its hands-on approach, catch some Medieval jousting at Pendennis Castle, or simply sit with a cold glass of white wine and watch the boats glide by.

Indulge yourself with a delicious, locally made ice cream, a luxurious Cornish Clotted Cream Tea - jam first please, we're in Cornwall! Or try a bottle of Cornish Cider.

Wander through the town’s eclectic mix of art galleries, delis, bistros and independent shops. Try a Ghost Walk at dusk, snooze on Gyllyngvase Beach in the sun, or have a go at an array of water sports – sailing, snorkelling, coasteering, kayaking, or stand-up paddle boarding.

Look out for Falmouth Week, UB40 or Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Band performing in Events Square, come and sing along with The Fisherman's Friends at the International Sea Shanty Festival, and if you're brave, try your hand at a bit of schucking down at the Oyster Festival in October.

Falmouth has so much going on, you could easily spend your whole holiday here, but it's also an ideal base for exploring this beautiful corner of Cornwall; Truro, the Duchy's capital, is only thirty minutes away by car, or try Helston, home of the Furry Dance and the gateway onto the Lizard Peninsula. Wherever you go, you're sure of a proper Cornish welcome, and the chance to simply relax.

gyllyngvase-beach
Gyllynvase Beach
(Less than a mile)

(2)

With its impressive crescent  of sand, great amenities and Blue Flag status, it’s no wonder Gyllyngvase Beach is one of the most popular in the area. Found just south of Falmouth town centre this beach is ideal for families, and with its calm seas and gently sloping sand is a good spot for kayaking and paddleboarding too. Local company WESUP are based here offering wetsuit and equipment hire and SUP activities for all ages and abilities. And nearby is the acclaimed Gylly Beach Café with its sun terrace built out over the beach, fantastic views and a menu packed full of local seafood. There’s lifeguard cover from May to September, a large car park and public toilets. Dogs allowed from October to Easter Sunday.

Beach was very busy when we visited with long queues for food. We took the coastal path and things were much quieter. There were a lot of dog walkers enjoying the path and not all of them were cleaning up after their dogs.

Lovely beach

September 2020


Castle Beach
(Less than a mile)

There’s a thin arc of sand and shingle to flop on here at Falmouth’s most northerly beach, but that’s not the main attraction … at low tide a wide expanse of rock pools is exposed where kids and adults alike can spend hours discovering the watery pools packed with miniature sea life. Diving and snorkelling are popular here too, with plenty to see in the clear waters beyond the rocks. If you forget your bucket and net you can buy one at the beachside café, also serving drinks, ice creams and sandwiches that can be enjoyed on their large sundeck with lovely sea views. Keep an eye on the tide times though as at high tide the majority of the beach can be covered. There’s no lifeguard or car park, but plenty of parking along the road running parallel to the beach. Dogs allowed from October to Easter Sunday.

Swanpool Beach
(Less than a mile)

(6)

A lovely sandy cove on the outskirts of Falmouth with lots of sand and clear water for swimming. If relaxing on the sand’s not your thing though, the beach backs onto Swanpool Nature Reserve where you can walk dogs on leads or feed the ducks and swans, and there’s also a beach cafe, kayak hire and 18 hole crazy golf course. Dogs allowed from October to Easter Sunday

A lovely beach but does get a bit crowded sometimes. Parking can be a problem in busy times too.

September 2021


Even in the middle of what has been one of the busiest summers cornwall has seen, this still offered space and attractions without the crowds. Loved being able to take the dog for a swim before 10am and after 6pm

September 2021


Lovely beach and costal walk

September 2020


Lovely beach, not fine sand but ideal for Kayaking and paddleboarding

August 2020


A lovely beach, plenty of parking, sheltered, 2 good cafe/ restaurants - whats not to like

A beautiful beach with nice walks into Falmouth.

maenporth-beach
Maenporth Beach
(3 miles)

(38)

A scenic sweep of golden sand flanked by cliffs, this family friendly beach looks out across Falmouth Bay towards Pendennis Castle and the lighthouse at St Anthony Head. There’s plenty of sand and shallow water which is great for children and excellent facilities, including a cafe selling great food and beach equipment, plus toilets and car park. Maenporth is also a lovely spot to launch a kayak or paddleboard, both of which can be hired on the beach during summer months. Dogs allowed from October to Easter Sunday.

Fantastic beach

April 2024


Lovely and clean, beautiful.

October 2023


Absolutely loved Maenporth. Lovely sheltered beach with fantastic cafe

August 2023


Lovely beach but early morning dog owners do not on occasion clean up on their dogs. We had to borrow a shovel on two occasions to clear the mess

August 2023


If you think this will be a quiet, hidden gem then you’d couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a very busy, active beach with lots to do and changing tides. We felt very blessed to be staying so close so we didn’t have to arrive super early to get a car parking space. Loved how safe it felt most of time, except when the fog came rolling in as fast as a wave! Enjoyed paddling, swimming, rock-pooling, playing with local dogs (after hours), someone built an incredible pyramid sandcastle which the kids and adults enjoyed.

August 2023


This beach is beautiful! Not too busy and everything is within a short distance.

July 2023


My favourite beach. Sunrise from here is something else!

April 2023


Used the beach but time off visit big waves so paddle boarding out off the question but had great fun on the body boards. Not a crowed beach parking prices reasonable, parking right on the beach .

September 2022


Lovely beach our third year in a row. The only problem which is not unique to this beach, is weaver fish. I do think visitors need to be made more aware of the adviseability of wearing beach shoes to protect against this problem. I think all beaches should have signs to this effect.

August 2022


Mix of sand and shingle beach. Quite a bit of seaweed when we were there but of the lettuce type so not too problematic. Not much in the way of waves so not good for body boarding but good for paddle boards or kayaks and swimming. Nice little take out cafe.

August 2022


Lovely beach and so convenient to Maenporth Estate. Shame about the seaweed that arrived! But beautiful nonetheless.

August 2022


Lovely beach

July 2022


Wonderful beach, very clean. Lovely view , didn’t use coffee shop so can’t comment.

June 2022


A lovely, perfect beach, ideal for everyone and great for rock pooling. Really clean too.

June 2022


Beautiful...although it did say no dogs, and there were plenty!

June 2022


Love this beach never tire of the view

October 2021


Lovely 'out of the way' beach with great outlook. Can be a bit 'smelly' when the tide it out in the lagoon nearby but does not distract from the beach or surrounds.

September 2021


Beautiful beach a hidden gem

September 2021


Great beach with a mix of sand and stones. Interesting caves when the tide is out. The tide goes out quite far so a bit of a walk to the sea but great for kids and adults alike.

September 2021


Lovely secluded beach -safe for children and doing water sports. Cafe and toilets nearby. Only downside no tap to wash sand off feet.

September 2021


Beautiful

September 2021


A bustling and busy sandy beach offering water sports and swimming and yet without the crowds of other parts of Cornwall. The coastal walks from there are glorious too.

September 2021


Great beach.

August 2021


Love this beach. It’s just stunning. Definitely returning.

August 2021


This is a great beach for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, exploring caves and rock pooling. Clean clear water, easy car parking and toilets plus a little cafe.

July 2021


Nice beach but disappointed that many dogs were running free on it. Witnessed several dogs pooing on the beach. This is supposed to be a dog free beach from Easter to October and I visited in June. Does no one police this blatant ignoring of the rules?!!

July 2021


Lovely Sandy beach with great cafe, toilets, parking and coast paths to enjoy.

July 2021


Fantastic holiday in a beautiful location. The holiday home was spacious, clean & the whole site was Covid friendly. We chose this holiday as we felt it was the safest option during these difficult times and everything about it came up to & beyond our expectations. My granddaughter especially enjoyed using the children's playground & indoor pool. The booking procedure and use of the swimming pool was ideal. Well organised. Many, many thanks. We came home feeling relaxed after a great week.

September 2020


Best beach in the area, its like been on a Greek island when the sun is shining

September 2020


Better beach than Swan pool, ideal for young children, gently sloping, perfect for water sports

August 2020


Really convenient if staying at maenporth estate. Mix of sand, shingle and rocks. Great for rock pooling. Calm sea so safe for families and watersports such as paddle boarding and kayaking. Wasn't overcrowded even when very warm!

August 2020


Beautiful quiet cove idyllic spot

July 2020


great beach complete with smugglers cave

November 2019


Lovely beach with decent facilities, but beach needs regular cleaning even after bank Holiday week

September 2019


This is a fabulous family friendly beach as it is quite sheltered. A great place to paddle board, relax and eat ice cream! You do need to get there early as the car park and beach fills up really quickly. I would also recommend beach shoes as several people were stung by weaver fish who were hiding in the sand as the tide went out. Definitely worth a visit ????

August 2019


Perfect beach

June 2019


Lovely beach ,best off season.

June 2019


A beautiful beach and wonderful setting.

Nansidwell Beach (Woodlands Beach)
(3 miles)

Found between Maenporth and Mawnan Smith, this is a small, pretty sandy beach with some shingle and rocks accessed by footpath from the road. It’s a five to ten minute walk, meaning the beach itself is often quiet and uncrowded with lovely swimming. No amenities though and the walk isn’t suitable for buggies or those with limited mobility. Also known as Woodlands Beach. Dogs allowed all year round.
