About This Place

Towan Beach, near St Mawes, is a small sand and shingle beach located at the southernmost tip of Gerrans Bay, on the Roseland peninsula. Quiet and south-east-facing, the beach is easily accessed via a short path from a small car park at Porth farm.  --> Not to be confused with Towan Beach, Newquay.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a simple, dog-friendly beach in Cornwall? Towan Beach offers year-round access for your furry friends! Enjoy the soft sand under your paws. As parking can be tricky near Newquay, arrive early, especially during peak season. While lifeguards are present, always supervise your dog, especially strong swimmers, as currents can be strong. Towan is paw-fect for a quick beach visit with your pooch, but might be a bit exposed for more nervous dogs, so pack a doggy jacket for comfort. It's a great spot for a relaxed stroll near the town’s amenities.
