  Trebarwith strand is approximately a mile and half south of Tintagel and can be reached on foot along the coast path by St Materiana's Church at Tintagel or via Treknow or Trewarmett. Trebarwith with its vast cliffs, dark caves and fine golden sand with Gull rock, almost reminiscent of a dogs head, keeping watch off shore, make an excellent scene.

At low tide Trebarwith Strand is almost a mile long stretch of unbroken golden sand.

The film industry as made good use of this fact over the years. If you are in a car then you may miss some of the most gorgeous views that are afforded to the walker. If you approach Trebarwith along the coast path you will pass by Hole Beach, with its mountain goat like tracks that wend down the steep cliff to the beach. Hole beach is only really accessible at low tide and I suggest you take heed of this. Further on along the path you pass by the old cliff quarry workings that are quite spectacular. Again these are accessible at low tide but do take care. Also there are several old mine shafts along this stretch of coast that used to yield copper and tin as well as silver. One of these shafts as stalagmites and stalactites growing within, but you will have to find them yourself, as I did when I was a lad.

The surfing here at Trebarwith can be awesome and the swimmers and rock poolers are well catered for so take note of the lifeguards requests and you will have a great day out here.

Gull Rock

Below is a picture of the view as you walk down to Trebarwith Strand, via the Village of Treknow. Port William is to the left of the picture. Gull rock is in the background.

This is the view as you walk down the Mill hill out of Treknow.

The Mill House Inn is at the foot of this hill.

Trebarwith Strand is an excellent beach, with good general facilities, ample parking and easy access. Lifeguards are present in season.
