Trevaunance Cove Beach

Location:
North Cornwall.
Description:
Trevaunance Cove is a nice sandy cove with a large area of rocks to the east of the cove. The beach is popular with families and surfers, but note that the car parks can get full on summer days. There are plenty of facilities close to the beach and there are nice seating areas above the beach where you can enjoy the view.
