This beach has got to be my winner – the water, the rocks, the seals and to top it all, the theatre.
It is flanked by enormous Thai style yellow boulders on one side and a stairway, carved into the rocks leading to the open-air cliff-top Minack theatre on the other. (Be warned – do not use these steps, the path is deadly.) I also saw a seal here, so extra marks for that. Luckier people see basking sharks.
The water is a green, which growing up by the North Sea, I did not know you could get in England. Practically Caribbean.
Beach tip: Since Poldark, the road down to the beach can get gridlocked in the summer. Head down early for a car parking space.
Great list! I love the beaches in Cornwall. My personal favourite is Rhossili in South Wales, long white sand beach surrounded by gorgeous cliffs and good surfing
Thanks! I love Rhossili too although I’ve not been for ages. I need to go back to Wales soon. I’ve not seen the Three Cliffs beach yet, but I’ve heard good things.
Great list! I did not know the UK had to beautiful beaches.
We really want to visit Cornwall, we were meant to last summer but we went to Brittany instead!
We’ll make sure to visit soon.
