Longrock Beach - West Cornwall

A safe family beach with sand and pebbles. Favoured with Penzance locals as it is the most easily accessible stretch of sandy beach from town. Swimming here is particularly safe as it takes a lot of walking to get into even waist deep water.

Directions: Take coast road from Penzance to Marazion - The beach is about 2 miles from Penzance town centre. Alternatively, walk along the beach from Eastern Green, Penzance.
