Pendower Beach (Cornwall) is located outside the Pendower settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Pendower Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

Absolutely beautiful. Pendower and Carne beaches meet in the middle, and there's a National Trust car park at either end.

Lovely beach and not super busy. Between Rocky Lane carpark and the National Trust car park there is lots of spaces available. Good beach for rock pooling at low tide.

Beautiful beach, make sure you get there early for a parking space. Single track road can get busy and there are limited passing places so be ready to reverse! Nice little cafe selling ice creams, coffees, pitta pockets and panini.

Lovely quiet little gem of a beach, perfect for a dog walk and a swim even if it is grey skies and pouring down! Relatively steep walk down but only takes a minute or two so nothing really😊
