The rugged coastline at Bedruthan, showing the Steps and Park Head
Dramatic coastline with views over huge rock stacks
This is one of the most popular destinations on the Cornish coast, where spectacular clifftop views stretch across Bedruthan beach (not Trust-owned).
The National Trust has rebuilt the cliff staircase to the beach, but visitors need to be aware of the risk of being cut off by the tide.
Enjoy a fun and safe day on the beach...

Tide times
It is easy for the tides to take us by surprise so always check what time high tide is before you go to the beach. Remember to give yourself plenty of time to get back to where you accessed the beach ahead of the tide.
