Local beaches

Trevellas Porth

0.6 miles

Our beautiful local beach is a 10 minute walk down the road and has a sand and pebble beach at low tide with extensive rock pools full of sea life. Swimming is not recommended as there are no lifeguard services, however it is a popular beach for kayaking, snorkelling and fishing when the sea is calm.


At low tide, it is possible to walk over the rocks to neighbouring Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes, which has a pub, beach shop and cafe overlooking the beach. There are numerous walks along the coastal path to Perranporth or St Agnes as well as inland walks along Jericho Valley and beyond. Dogs are allowed off-lead on the beach throughout the year.
