The Beaches of East Cornwall - E13 - Vault Beach
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. 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 Peninsula - E flank of Dodman Point
Vault Beach looks from a distance to be composed of greyish sand, but in keeping with many other south coast beaches it is actually a beach of fine shingle. This indicates the action of the sea to be so much less on this coast than on the north. Vault, also known as Bow Beach used to be quite deserted even in summer but the recent growth in coastal walking as well as St. Austell as a whole - due largely to the Eden Project means this is no longer the case. It lies on the eastern flank of Dodman Point and there are few facilities here, the nearest amenities are at Gorran Haven half a mile or so to the north.
