Despite its close proximity to Newquay, Whipsiderry offers a unique, wilder feel that sets it apart from the town's beaches. Additionally, an enormous island in the middle of the cove adds to the beach's charm.
Visitors should note that access to the beach is via a steep flight of stairs that cling to the cliff face.
