Sharrow beach at Whitsand Bay 

Sharrow beach is part of the miles of golden sand at Whitsand Bay on the Rame Peninsula. Once you have discovered the area you'll have lots of things to keep you busy. The coast path leads you over the cliff tops with great views and places to stop and stare and if you fancy a beach day, then clamber down the footpaths to Sharrow Beach.
