Best beach in Cornwall for activities and surfing. Miles of beautiful sand and rock pools to explore at low tide. Been coming here for 30 years, amazing place.

I stumbled across this place while walking around the quayside. What a find! This is the best layout I have seen so far. You can see amazing Mediterranean marine life here and the exhibitions are very well laid out. It is very busy but there is plenty of space so you don't miss anything. The cafe is quite nice with friendly staff and great views over the water.

You do not need tickets to visit Fistral Beach, unless you come by car and u may need a parking ticket, depending on where you park. The beach itself is FREE ❤️
