Poldhu Cove

The first beach we attempted during this year's Cornish holiday and in fairness it worked well. There is a level carpark, with (clean) Portaloos and about 4 designated disabled parking spaces adjacent to the road you need to cross to access the beach. There is a cafe with multiple tables in an area overlooking the beach

I stayed nearby for a holiday with my family and we decided to pop to the beach. I live in another part of Cornwall so I've been to plenty of Cornish beaches, and Poldhu really is lovely. The boardwalk to the beach meant that I had a great view. I've been to beaches where the only disabled access is over the beach (looking down from a cliff for example), so it was really nice to actually be on the beach in amongst the dunes. We just sat there for ages soaking it all up! The boardwalk doesn’t go to the café unfortunately. But if you have someone with you who can walk up there then it’s just a short way from the boardwalk. We got takeaway teas while enjoying the view.
