Castle Beach


Today is like a warm spring day, even though the rain clouds fly quickly overhead and are never very far away. Castle Beach sits west of and just below Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, hence its name. It is not an attractive beach, just a bit of shingle and lots of granite outcrops at low water. At high tide there is no beach at all, just the high sea-wall, road and lots of small hotels overlooking Falmouth Bay. But when the tide is out, what a lovely stretch of rock-pools to explore! and If you want a more sandy beach to walk on, then Gyllyngvase beach is just a minute's stroll away.
