Tregardock beach
Tregardock beach is about a mile along the coast from Trebarwith Strand, in the direction of Port Isaac and is reached via a public footpath that crosses the coast path to reach the farm at Tregardock. There is no beach at high tide at Tregardock. As the tide goes out, several small beaches merge into a long stretch of sand. A waterfall plummets from the cliffs at the back of the beach and there are some caves within the cliffs. The largest part of the beach is on the left and this gets cut off as the tide rises, so check the tide times carefully and don't get stranded when the tide comes in!

The beach at Tregardock can only be reached (on land) from the footpath so it's one of the quietest sandy beaches on the North Cornish coast. You can visit it on a circular walk from Tregardock to Dannonchapel or a longer circular walk to Tregardock from Trewarmett. There's also an epic one-way walk along the coast from Port Isaac to Tintagel (catching the bus to Port Isaac at the start to make it circular).
