Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps

Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps comprise an iconic stretch of coastline synonymous with shipwrecks and smugglers. The granite rocks that are dotted across the beach are stepping stones for the Giant Bedruthan, according to legend. You can access the golden sands of the beach via a steep and narrow set of steps cut into the cliffs at low tide.

A breathtaking rocky coast. A narrow staircase leads to the extensive sandy beach at low tide. Swimming is prohibited due to strong currents. A paid parking and campsite is available for visitors. For a visit, we recommend a look at the tide calendar.

The gigantic rock landscape down by the beach, the incredible flower splendor on top of the cliffs - a wonderful landscape! "Breathtaking!" - literally.

Steep steps lead down to the beach. Those who want to descend must pay attention to the tides. At high tide the beach is completely under water and access via the stairs is closed.
