Pentire Steps Beach is a beautiful and unspoilt beach located in Cornwall. It is known for its stunning views, which can be enjoyed even in less than ideal weather conditions. The beach is particularly notable for its natural characteristics, including a vast expanse of sand and a narrow passage that opens up onto 1.5 miles of deserted sandy beach on past Bedruthan Steps and beyond. This makes it a favourite spot for many visitors.
One of the unique features of Pentire Steps Beach is its relative seclusion. On a busy day elsewhere in Cornwall, you'll find just a handful of families here. This is largely due to the minor rock climb at the end of the path, which is perfectly navigable for agile children as well as adults. This feature contributes to the lack of crowds at the beach.
Visitor reviews highlight the stunning views and the tranquility of the beach as the most appreciated aspects, with many enjoying the unspoilt beauty and lack of crowds. The coastal path walk also receives positive mentions. However, visitors express disappointment and caution regarding the closed beach steps, which currently prevent access to the beach.
If you’re planning a trip to Pentire Steps Beach, consider staying in the nearby town of Newquay, which offers a range of accommodations and is popular for its vibrant surf culture. Alternatively, the quaint village of Mawgan Porth is a great choice for those looking to enjoy both the beach and the charming Cornish countryside.
