If you are looking to discover a little known corner of Cornwall at its best, look no further than Whitsand Bay. With over three miles of sand, backed by majestic cliffs and tidal rock pools, you are in for a treat. Visitors to the county will usually drive right past this area, plus access to the beach is down a steep slope, so you can expect a much quieter bay. Dogs are welcome all year round too.
