Par Sands Beach

Visit Par Sands Beach

Par Sands offers visitors a vast and beautiful stretch of golden beach along theCornish coastline.

At low tide, this wide, flat beach extends nearly half a mile out to sea, creating an impressive expanse of golden sand. Perfect for long walks, sandcastle building, or simply spreading out to soak up the sun. The beach is backed by picturesque dunes, adding to its natural charm and providing a beautiful backdrop for your beach day.

Families will love Par Sands for its safe, gently sloping shore, perfect for paddling and swimming. While there’s no lifeguard cover, the beach’s gradual descent into the sea makes it a popular choice for those with children. Just remember to keep an eye on the tide and supervise little ones in the water.

Getting to Par Sands is a breeze, with a large pay-and-display car park right next to the beach. There’s even a disabled access ramp, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this beautiful stretch of coast. And when you need a pick-me-up, you’ll find a convenient coffee van near the beach for that much-needed caffeine boost or snack.
