Castle Beach

Next to Gyllyngvase Beach in Cornwall, Castle Beach is a long narrow stretch of sand and shingle, and the most easterly of Falmouth’s beaches. Just a stroll away from the centre of historic Falmouth, and easily accessed from the railway station. You can see Henry VIII’s Pendennis Castle from here and at low tide the shoreline reveals scattered rocks and biodiverse rock pools for hours of rock pooling fun.

free, parking is on the main road, with a sloping access path plus a few steps down to the beach. There’s also a beach café serving snacks and drinks. Dogs are welcome on this beach except between July 1st and August 31st when a seasonal, dog ban is in place between 10 am and 6 pm.
