Location

This area of the south Cornish coast is renowned for its breath taking coastal scenery with the contrast between sandy beaches and towering cliffs quite simply awe-inspiring.   

Situated in a valley, well off the beaten track between the Roseland peninsula and St Austell bay, the fishing village of Gorran Haven has been described as 'a jewel on the south coast' located at the most eastern point of the Roseland.

The bay is sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds by Dodman Point and the rising land to the west. Swimmers can enjoy two sandy beaches offering some of the safest bathing in Cornwall, making them ideal for the whole family.

Nearby Hemmick beach is utterly charming and additional local attractions include the world-renowned Lost Gardens of Heligan, Caerhayes Castle and Mevagissey.
