Grebe Beach
Located a short woodland walk away from the village of Durgan is the secluded Grebe beach. Access is via a fairly steep path and the beach is a little out of the way so there is rarely a crowd at Grebe.
Grebe beach is a lovely spot backed by woodland and looking out onto the stunning Helford river. There are rocks at either end of the beach with a few rock pools worth exploring.
As with most of the Helford beaches swimming is relatively safe but the absence of a lifeguard means caution is advised.

Jul 17th 2022Nice place spoilt by people taking advantage of it.
No vehicles allowed down the hill - yet the emergency service/passing lay-by’s are full and the resulting back & forth snarl ups to Durgan are atrocious.
The car park is at the top of the hill, it’s cheap, accessible and run by the National Trust.
It’s a shame that the ‘wild swimming’ surge, location pins on social media and the Uni have turned this area into a theme park.
