Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.

Location: South Coast - Roseland - Between Veryan & Gorran Haven

Caerhays (Porthluney) beach and car park

Otherwise known as Porthluney, this is a good south facing beach of sand overlooking Gerrans Bay. It is uncovered at all states of the tide and lies just below Caerhays Castle (built in 1808 by John Nash). It is a safe spot for bathers, although care must be taken near the headlands at either end of the beach. There is a large car park here, with a cafe, shop and toilets.
