Maenporth Beach

Maenporth Beach is a gorgeous sandy cove, approximately 2 miles from Falmouth town centre, perfect for sunbathing, rock pooling, fishing and boating.

Situated at the head of a small, sheltered bay with lovely views south. Coastlines to the east and west offer protection from the wind and waves, making Maenporth a great place to paddle, swim and enjoy the water safely. Discover rugged cliffs, rolling green fields, wildflowers and hidden beaches against the rocks and creeks. There are miles of wonderful coastline to explore from Maenporth, and walking the coast path is a pleasure for visitors and locals alike.

Maenporth Beach offers superb views across Falmouth Bay towards Pendennis Castle and some superb coastal walking opportunities towards the Helford River area. At low water, the shipwreck of the Ben Asdale can be seen, while marine activities such as sailing, kayaking, diving and sea safaris are available for the more adventurous.
