Praa Sands Beach
A wide swathe of sand that draws families here every summer, Praa Sands beach faces south and is said to benefit from the longest sunshine hours of any place in the country. Praa Sands is one of the few south coast bays to enjoy great, consistent waves and as such is a magnet for surfers.

Chyandour Beach
Enjoying spectacular views of St Michael's Mount, the beach is a sand and shingle mix which is covered at high tide and situated between Penzance Beach and Long Rock Beach. Whilst the nearest parking is at Long Rock, 1.5km away, there are several access points to the beach which is backed by a long cycle track and sea-defence boulders. Swimming is best at high tide, although caution is advised as there is no safety equipment or lifeguards. This is a year-round dog-friendly beach. All amenities can be found in Penzance.

Rinsey Cove
Just along the coast from the popular beach at Praa Sands, Rinsey is a sand and boulder cove reached down a steep cliff path. The climb is worth it for the stunning views of old mine workings perched on the clifftops. The crags at Trewavas Head are popular with rock climbers.

Mousehole Beach
One of Cornwall's most picturesque fishing villages, the strip of sand in the harbour can get quite busy in summer. The local kids enjoy pier jumping into the harbour. On the way into Mousehole from Penzance, there is a rocky strip of beach with a small pool in front of the Old Coastguard Hotel where you can while away the time exploring rockpools.
