Lovely sandy beach only 5 mins drive from Sowena. You can also walk there along the coast path. It takes about between 30 & 40 mins. You can use a buggy on this coast path as it’s mostly flat but rocky and narrow in places. It’s an easy walk. The Cabin cafe sits just above the beach, it has a huge garden area. They do delicious food and have pizza nights too. Highly recommended.
You can chill on the beach or find small little rocky inlets to swim from, with no one around.
Great surf beach.

Sennen cove is 20 minute drive from Sowena. This huge sandy, blue flag beach is great for swimming, surfing and learning to surf. Smart surf school is situated next the the Blue lagoon fish and chip restaurant. They also have a webcam on their website so you can check the weather and conditions before you head over. Even if it’s bright sunshine in Marazion it could be foggy on another beach or coast. It’s good to check ahead. Or even see where the sun is if it’s overcast in Marazion.
Google - Smart surf school web cam.
There are lots of other cafes, a small shop and also an art gallery in the cove.

Porthmeor in St. Ives is a 20 minute drive from Sowena. In the height of summer it can get quite busy so parking could be an issue. You can take the park and ride instead from St. Erth train station, 10 mins from Sowena. Great scenic, short train ride. Sit on the right for the best views.
It’s a beautiful sandy, surf beach. With the fabulous Porthmeor cafe looking out over the beach and the Tate gallery just behind.
I think the beach has a webcam so double check the weather before heading over. It can be very different from this side sometimes.
