Decent sized sandy beach which backs onto the grounds of Caerhays Castle and it's gardens. The beach is also part of the estate.
The beach is fairly sheltered and swimming is relatively safe. There is also a ban on any kind of motorised water-craft to maintain peace and quiet.
directions: From St Austell (approx 9 miles) take the B3273 towards Mevagissey. Shortly after Pentewan turn right on to the Gorran Haven road and just before Gorran Churchtown turn right and follow signs to Caerhays Castle.
