Both Barn Pool and this beach are next to the Cremyll foot ferry with access to the gardens of Mount Edgecumbe Park nearby. With lovely views across to Plymouth, Cremyll beach is shingle and sand with some rock pools around the south side. Car parking is available at Cremyll and dogs are allowed year round.
A good little beach for walkers - you might as well plan a coast path jaunt as parking is in Noss Mayo, and access is via a half hour or more walk along the river. But it is a pretty woodland walk. The beach itself has steep access when you get there and is a mixture of pebbles and sand. Once rested, you carry on your merry way further round the coast.
A stony, wide sweeping beach with only a small strip above high water. Facilites are available at the nearby Country Park.
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this beach has golden yellow sands and is a popular spot with locals. Flanked by rocky cliffs at each side, there is ample car parking or you can gain access from the coastal path. Dogs are allowed off season but not from May to September.
Cawsand and neighbouring Kingsand are historical Cornish fishing villages and regular recipients of the Best Kept Village Award. The beach here is popular for swimming, boating and windsurfing and close to the village amenities. Should you feel the need for some big city action, a ferry runs from Cawsand Bay to The Barbican, close to Plymouth city centre.
This pleasant sand and shingle beach backs onto the 17th Century Cornish fishing village of Kingsand. Popular for swimming and boating, it is close to all the village amenities, including a 120-space car park. It is also close to the historic fishing village of Cawsand.
Large, sheltered and unspoilt, this beach has lots of fine sand at low tide and safe areas to bathe in shallow waters. Mothecombe Beach is situated at the mouth of the River Erme and has plenty of rocks to explore and climb. Parking is a 15 minute walk away.
A rocky area with a sandy beach means this is a great place for wildlife lovers - rockpooling and bird watching are plentiful.
A popular spot for surfers, divers and coast walkers, as well as families. A beach cafe, shop, parking and toilets are all nearby, as well as the Marine Centre, where there are plenty of activities to delight budding marine biologists.
