Beaches in Cornwall
North Cornwall has some of the finest beaches in Cornwall, and at Trenerry we are spoilt for choice with many beaches just a short walk or drive away.
Here are a few of the beaches closest to us or that we recommend for a day out.
Chapel Porth
Is just a 20 minute stroll down a nearby footpath you will find the national trust beach of Chapel Porth. There is plenty of parking and a lovely Café famous for its hedgehog ice cream. It’s always best to check the tides times if venturing down to Chapel as when the tide is in the beach all but disappears. However, when the tide is out there is plenty of sand to make castles and rock pools to explore.
