Whipsiderry, United Kingdom - Beach Guide, Info, Photos

Whipsiderry Beach is a picturesque beach located in Cornwall, UK. It has been recognized as one of Europe's Best Beaches by the Sunday Times. The beach offers a serene atmosphere and is protected by cliffs, making it an ideal location for exploring rock formations and caves. At low tide, the sand is dry and provides a comfortable spot for sunbathing. However, compared to the town beaches in Newquay, Whipsiderry Beach has a more rugged feel and lacks facilities. Access to the beach is via a steep set of stairs. The beach spans approximately half a mile and extends to Watergate Bay. Along this stretch, there are additional attractions such as Fruitful Cove and Cathedral Cavern. The name "Whipsiderry" is derived from two mining terms, "Whips" and "Derrick."
