More info: Whitsand Bay is situated in the south east of Cornwall and runs from Rame Head in the east to Portwrinkle in the west. The beaches of Whitsand Bay offer three miles of glistening sand with high cliffs and dramatic scenery. At low tide the wide stretches of sand are dotted with rock pools. The beach is very popular with walkers and joggers and the South West Coast Path runs the length of the bay. Surfers are attracted to the constant swellsl of the coastal waters especially between September to February. Whitsand Bay is home to HMS Scylla, an ex-naval frigate sunk in 2004 to form an artificial reef and provide a great dive site.
Access to the area around Tregantle is regulated by the military (firing range) and closed when red flags are flying.
