About This Place

The sandy beach at Pentewan Sands stretches for over half a mile. Whilst it is open to the public it is in fact owned by the holiday park behind the beach. This doesn’t really create any issues, in fact it means the beach is well maintained and there are plenty of facilities at hand. --> Pentewan faces east into St Austell Bay and is generally pretty sheltered from the wind and waves. This makes it a great spot for a variety of watersports, although there aren’t any lifeguards on duty here. At the northern end of the beach is Pentewan village with its old harbour. Despite the harbour being silted up and effectively cut off from the sea it is still a fascinating place to look around.
