Known by the locals as Pedney, this beach has been named eighth best in the world. It’s a steep climb down the cliff from Treen car park. You can also access it from Porthcurno Beach at low tide, however if you get cut off by the tide you’ll have to do the steep climb. It is a nudist beach but don’t let that put you off, we’ve often stood and chatted to people we know whilst we are fully clothed and they’re not!
