Sandy beaches and fantastic swimming
Swim from the gently shelving sandy beach, relax on the sand, bring a barbecue, visit the cafe for a fresh crab sandwich, enjoy lunch at The Cove, a beachside restaurant with fabulous views or explore the South West Coast Path.
Maenporth beach sits at the head of a small, sheltered bay with lovely views south. The coastline to the east and west offers protection from the wind and waves making Maenporth a great place to paddle, swim and enjoy the water safely.
