The steps have probably been closed for a while, as have all beach access at Porthcothan Beach. It's hard to tell from the highlights. The panorama is gigantic, but unfortunately there is no swimming break...

This is the daytime equivalent of a lighthouse, a daymark tower. It is a navigational aid for seafarers which marks out the safe passage channel. It sits proudly here atop Stepper Point.

Just a half mile from Padstow will bring you to St George's Cove. At high tide there is just a small area of sand, it's low tide when the cove really gets to show off its best side. The golden sands are so vast you can walk all the way to Hawker's Cove and Harbour Cove. Facing out into the Camel Estuary, it is lovely and sheltered but sadly it isn't a swimming beach, as tempting as it looks. The currents in the estuary are very strong and very dangerous. Enjoy the views over to Rock and Daymer Bay instead.

Very wide view over the sea, small islands in sight, it's worth taking binoculars with you.

The path up here is not for the faint hearted. Well worth it though fantastic views.

Old Lighthouse

Breathtakingly beautiful rocks of the Bedruthan Steps. Unfortunately, access to the NT car park has been closed for some time due to a rock slide. From the viewpoint and the surrounding cliffs you can still enjoy the view of the rocks and the beach.

If you are coming from Padstow, you can look forward to the hustle and bustle easing again.
