A breathtaking rocky coast. A narrow staircase leads to the extensive sandy beach at low tide. Swimming is prohibited due to strong currents. A paid parking and campsite is available for visitors. For a visit, we recommend a look at the tide calendar.

Bedruthan Steps is a spectacular cliff formation with several freestanding rocks on the north coast of Cornwall between the towns of Newquay and Padstow in southwest England. Accessible only at low tide, the bay can be reached via a steep staircase maintained by the National Trust. Because of the massive waves, however, it is advised against swimming. If you do not want to descend into the bay, you can enjoy the panoramic view from the hiking trail along the cliffs.
The name Bedruthan Steps came from the idea that the giant Bedruthan (English mythology) has used the large stones as steps. For some of the rocks there are nicknames; one is called Queen Bess, another Samaritan after a ship full of woolen and silk fabrics, which sank here in 1846 (source: wikipedia).
