What makes this beach also special is its rich history. Once a bustling port that exported china clay from nearby quarries, the remnants of Pentewan Beach's industrial past are still visible today. The old harbour walls can be seen, and it is from this harbour that clay was transported to waiting ships.

While Pentewan Beach is steeped in history, it also offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun. With calm waters that are perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding, there are endless ways to stay active and enjoy the stunning scenery. Of course, if you'd rather just soak up the sun and relax, there are plenty of secluded coves and quiet spots to do just that.
