Above Towan Beach


A little known southeast facing beach of sand and shingle overlooking Gerrans Bay. The beach is backed by dunes and lies roughly mid-way between the headlands of Killigerran Head and Greeb Point. It is usually bypassed by tourists heading for St. Anthony, few know it lies just across a field from the road. Parking is available at the National Trust Car Park at Porth Farm.
