The beach at Trebarwith Strand is at the bottom of a deep valley with many attractive views along the Heritage Coastline. Rocks must be negotiated before you reach the large sandy beach. The high tide covers the beach completely for about two hours so care must be taken. Swimming and surfing are not recommended two and a half hours either side of high tide. Signs at the top of the beach warn of the dangers. The coastal path north leads to Tintagel and makes a wonderful scenic walk.
