Wonderful little dog friendly beach (dog friendly all year round). Easy steps to get down to the beach. Even our little Westie managed to get down to them. Plenty of other dogs on the beach for him to play with. This little beach was clean and tidy and couldn’t see any litter or rubbish.

Amazing little beach to visit. Provides great views of St Ives bay. The tide hardly tends to stay above sea level most of the day allowing for visits at most times. The beach is always in great condition and is never littered.
