Kingsand And Cawsand Beach

South East Cornwall.

Facing east into Plymouth Sound, the pleasant villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are well worth a visit for some fine scenery and there are gift shops and cafés. At Kingsand there is a sand and shingle beach separated into two by rocks. At Cawsand there is also a sand and shingle beach with rock pools to explore. South of Cawsand there is good walking around Rame Head via the coast path. To the north of Kingsand there is a small sandy beach called Sandway Cellar, which is accessible via a 10 minute walk along the rocky foreshore or via the coast path. Note there have been cliff falls recently at Sandway.
