About
About Whitsand Bay
Whitsand Bay stretches for several miles along the Rame peninsula, with a chain of sandy beaches at the foot of high cliffs. Reaching them involves steep paths, which keeps them quieter than many Cornish beaches, even in summer.
The coast road above has spectacular views, and Rame Head, with its medieval chapel, marks the eastern end of the bay.
