Beaches

Blue Monkey is one of the best Coastal Holiday Cottages to Rent in Cornwall being just a stone’s throw away from the local beach.

There are three main beaches in the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand which are safe for swimming and separated by areas of rocks with some interesting rock pools to explore.

• Kingsand Beach is a mixture of sand and shingle which is located along The Cleave. Girt Beach, along Market Street, is mainly shingle, but with some sand. It is relatively sheltered by Picklecombe Fort and Penlee Point/Rame Head.
• Cawsand Beach is mainly sand and is found along The Bound with all the usual facilities at the back of the beach. There are rock pools and inlets for children to play in and a sheltered location makes Cawsand a popular family choice.
• Sandways is a fine swimming beach and is a short walk out of the village across the rocks towards Fort Picklecombe.
• Whitsand Bay. A short 10 minute walk to the other side of the Rame Peninsula will take you to a 4 mile stretch of perfect sand that is the beach at Whitsand Bay. Please note that access to the beach is very steep.
