Hi,
One of the most wonderful beaches is near Porthcurno, but its best to park in treen, and walk down to the coast, the beach is below Loggans Rock, its quite a steep climb down to it, and also be aware of tide times. If high tide is not too high you can stay on the beach, its all on local information/ bbc/ pirate fm gives you the heights and timings. There are a number of other locations, you can find them on NatCorn web site.
good luck and have a wonderful time.
Vault beach near Gorran Haven. Is pretty good too. Long bay, reasonable sand and gentle slope into the water which was warm enough to swim in during last weeks hot spell. Bit of a drive through the villages though very pretty and not too tough a walk from the national trust car park ( Lamledra). Hope the sun shines.
