each beach has its own unique characteristics

Building From family friendly beaches such as Porthcurno, through to a Fistral Beach a surfers paradise where surgers visit from all over the world.

Castles in the sand, searching for sea shells, hunting for crabs in the rock-pools of a sheltered cove, or just wanting to dip your toe in turquoise waters, it’s easy to see why visitors return to Cornwall year after year. 

Below are just a few of our favourite and most local beaches to the St. Austell area.
