Cornwall is blessed with numerous, beaches, from quiet hidden away coves to vast long stretches of golden sand. The rugged North coast has lots to offer with its renowned surfing beaches pounded by Atlantic rollers - certainly worth visiting and not too far to travel to from Cider Cottage.
 North coast beauty |  Miles of sand |
The end of the Smuggler's path But nearer here on the gentler South coast we have some super little coves. Our favourite is approached through woodland down an old Smuggler's path.
It’s a lovely sheltered gently sloping bay and the water is warmed on an incoming tide after the sun has heated up the sand. A comment from a relative who was visiting with us, said it was like swimming in an infinity pool.
Another bonus is it is never crowded, the 20 minute walk may deter some, but with a 4 and 6 year old in tow there were no complaints only anticipation and excitement.

One of our favourite beaches
There are many other beaches within easy reach of Cider Cottage and we even have a tide clock in the cottage so our guests can plan the best time to visit the coast. Whether it's for crabbing in Looe at high tide, a paddle or swim at one of our secret hidden away coves, or a beach with easy access. With Cornwall's extensive coastline, the choice is endless.
