Gyllyngvase Beach


Falmouth’s town beach is lined with genteel hotels along the coast road, and there is a municipal feel about the place. There is even a small park here - a very traditional British seaside town feature? But it is a pleasant, open beach to be on with good rocky tide pools on both sides and lovely views of Falmouth Bay. Off to the left (outside the photo) Pendennis Point and St. Anthony’s lighthouse are very picturesque, while to the right (centre of photo) you look towards the mouth of Helford river and then further out to sea the Manacles, a group of rocks sits off-shore . And in summer the sailing boats dotted about the bay add the finishing touch...
