Cornwall has some of the most diverse and interesting places
to visit of any part of Britain.
With holiday parks dotted along Cornwall’s North and South coasts,
you are never far from everything this exciting county has to offer.
For a start, there are beautiful beaches.

Huge tracts of golden sand and rocky coves washed clean by the
Atlantic at every tide, offer limitless choice for sightseeing.
Exciting beaches such as Perranporth and Falmouth as well as safe
family beaches such as Kennack Sands and Whitsand Bay where
children can explore the rock pools. Magnificent surfing beaches
such as Polzeath and Fistral nestle close to coves enjoyed by those
lucky enough to have found them.Then there’s historical Cornwall,
brought to life in year-round pageants and festivals.

There are places of pirates and smugglers, of battles and legends.
Castles on cliffs, country houses, standing stones, Cornwall’s mining past,
museums and heritage centres, all spread throughout this rugged and
ancient lanscape to thrill and inspire.Moving on, and always within reach
of your holiday home, you will discover inspirational
Cornwall - the Tate Gallery at St. Ives, the Newlyn gallery, potteries,
contemporary exhibitions, open air and indoor theatre.
Not to mention the spectacular and immensely popular Eden Project east
of St Austell.


Perranzabuloe Nude Beach

"The beach has a long history of naturist use and so we are suggesting
working with all parties to have the beach made official, with a
designated area created, so that it will be easy to spot anyone
naked outside that area, who may have visited the beach for the wrong reasons."

Pednevounder Nude Beach

Description: The nude beach is notable for its outstanding rock
formations, the cliffs of Treryn Dinas and Logan Rock, a famous,

65 ton rock that is naturally balanced about 100 feet above the sea.
The yellow sand of this nude beach is almost underwater at high tide
though at low tide there is a wide, shallow area.
The beach is close to Treen, on the south coast of Cornwall.
It’s a popular vacation area so if you are planning to visit,
make accommodation or campsite reservations early.

Facilities: The beach has no facilities.

Warnings: Getting to this beach involves some very steep
paths and scrambling down a narrow path.
This is not a beach for anyone who is afraid of heights
and who can’t manage steep descents over loose, rocky paths.
Several sandbars emerge along this beach at low tide.
Signs along the beach warn about dangerous currents for
swimmers in certain areas.

Getting there: Head for Penzance, near the tip of Cornwall
and pick up the A30 dual carriageway heading west.
About 4 miles from Penzance, look for the B3283 south, Penzance Road.
After just under 3.5 miles, bear left onto the B3315 and look for signs for Treen.
There is pay and display parking in Treen.
From the parking, follow signs for Treen campsite and head past it
for the coastal path. Look for a path that forks off the main path
and is closer to the cliffs. A third, narrow path heads downward
over rocks to the beach. The last bit of this path is not for anyone
afraid of heights or steep scrambles.

It is possible to walk along the sands from Porthcurno Beach
at low tide but when the tide rolls in, there is only the steep
cliff path route out.
