Pendower Beach

Part of the Roseland Peninsula's collection of exceptional beaches, this expansive stretch offers safe swimming in calm Gerrans Bay waters and vast sand expanses at low tide. The south-facing position creates a natural sun-trap protected from Atlantic swells, while the nearby Nare Hotel adds luxury touches to the pristine environment. The surrounding Roseland Peninsula provides attractions including Trelissick gardens, picturesque villages like St Just in Roseland, and boat trips from Falmouth. The relatively undeveloped character means bringing refreshments is advisable, but the sense of space and tranquility compensates, while the mild microclimate supports unusual plants and wildlife.
