The stunning beaches at Whitsand Bay offer three miles of unspoilt sand from Rame Head to Portwrinkle and are unquestionably one of Cornwall’s hidden gems. The beaches are not all suitable for people with walking disabilities as many of them are accessed by steep paths and steps that wind down between the verdant vegetation, however, these beaches are never crowded and are always a pleasure to spend time on.
At low tide the long stretches of glistening sand provides great walking or jogging, whilst the constant swell keeps surfers and body boarders happy riding some huge waves. Several of the beaches have resident RNLI life guards in attendance so make sure you swim in the patrolled zones that are clearly marked. Access can be difficult on steps and uneven paths from parking areas so be very careful, particularly if your unsteady on your feet. The beach at Portwrinkle isn’t the prettiest but is certainly the easiest to access.
Rock pools dotted along the beach reveal fascinating marine life and out to sea the bay is a popular dive site.

There are a number of local operators you can book in Plymouth to take you diving if you have the relevant qualification.
