Beaches in St Ives
"Located directly next to the train station Porthminster is another long sandy beach. However, it is quite different to Porthmeor being around the corner and far more sheltered. With a backdrop of lawns and a steep wooded slope to which elegenat Victorian villas cling Porthminster has a civilised air to it."

25 brilliant things to do in St Ives, Cornwall
"Porthminster Beach is a large, sheltered, gently sloping beach that sits right underneath the train station. It is immaculately clean, which is demonstrated by the quality of the brilliant turquoise waters lapping the shore. This is usually a bit of a quieter spot in comparison to Porthmeor."

top 10 family friendly things to do in Newquay
"Crantock Beach is a 15 minute drive from Newquay town centre and was voted Best British Beach in 2013 by the BBC!. Walk over the looming sand dune and marvel at the awe inspiring view on offer, the beautiful expanse of golden sand and glittering blue sea will wash all your stresses away and makes for a great seaside family day out!. Drop into the Fern Pit where you can order a cooked lobster that has been freshly caught that morning, and take a walk along the headland overlooking the bay too."

"Owned and cared for by the National Trust, this beach is a knock-out!. Backed by grassy sand dunes, the beach sits between the Pentire Headland and the Gannel Estuary – so there’s no shortage of gorgeous natural landscapes nearby. Crantock is dog-friendly year-round, and there’s plenty of space for your four-legged friend to explore when the tide goes out."

"If your kids – and dog – love sand dunes then there are plenty to explore here at Crantock. At low tide there’s oodles of space to roll out a picnic blanket and build sandcastles. One of our favourite things to do is to create massive doodles in the sand with a spade or stick."

"Perranporth's huge, flat, sandy beach is a favourite for everyone: dog-walkers, bucket-and-spade families, kite-buggiers and surfers alike. Its main draw is its sheer size – more than a mile long, backed by dunes and rocky cliffs – meaning there's usually space for everyone even on the busiest days. It's home to the Watering Hole, the hub of local nightlife."

"Two miles from St Agnes is one of Cornwall's most beautiful coves, Chapel Porth, a wild, rocky beach framed by steep, gorse-covered cliffs, owned by the National Trust. Above the cove is the ruined engine stack of Wheal Coates, which still boasts its chimney and winding house, from where the coast path winds all the way to the blustery outcrop of St Agnes Head. It's a panorama that graces many a postcard – don't forget your camera."
