Roseland Beaches

File 168Roseland has lots of beaches, those on the exposed coastline have lots of lovely golden sand.  Those situated in more sheltered postions are often more pebbly (less sand in your sandwiches at picnic time).  A collection of the best is listed below:

Beach
  Description
Summers   Only a 3 minute walk from Nearwater, a great beach for swimming and exploring rock pools at low tide
Pendower   A huge sandy beach about 1 mile long.  If you are feeling adventurous you can take the coastal path from here to Nare Head (about  2 miles and hilly but well worth it when you get there)
Porthcurnick     A wide sandy beach with rock pools and a slipway.  There is a cafe behind the beach open during the summer season.
Portscatho   An attractive fishing village with a beach which is mainly rock but with sandy patches. The beach stretches all the way to Porthcurnick Beach to the North
Towan   A large spacious sand/pebble beach with great rock pools at low tide
Porthbeor   Our favourite beach, only accessible down a steep cliff path or by boat.  Lots of sand and rock pools at low tide
Molunan   We call this Lighthouse Beach due to its close proximity to St Anthony Lighthouse. Small sandy cove, popular with boats when the weather is settled. Disappears at high tide!  Accessible from the coastal path
