This lovely family beach with large cafe, shop and toilets set in a quieter part of Cornwall has everything you need for a memorable day out. The large beach of sand with small pebbles is south facing and located at the entrance of the River Seaton valley. Ideal for sailing (with slipway), surfing and shore fishing and for the younger ones some paddling and splashing out in the river.

You can also take a gentle stroll along the promenade to the nearby Downderry beach and if the tide is high you'll see local fishermen casting out their lines.
