Sightseeing
This beach is a few minutes out of Gorran Haven and is large, quiet and beautiful. You park in the NT car park and walk down to it so more physical to access but worth it.

Great view over the bay, if you don't want to go in follow the footpath to the right along the coast for a fantastic walk.

We love walking around the coast from Gorran Haven to Portmellon via Chapel point, fantastic views all the way. There is a pub and cafe in season at Portmellon to relax before walking back either the same coast path or inland by road.
