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 - ˝ mile southwest of Mawnan Park your car at Mawnan Church.

Walk due west along Mawnan Shear and pass Toll Point grid reference SW782268. 
Next pass through a little copse of fir trees and through a kissing gate to enter a field. Keep left to drop down the slope to another kissing gate now about 30 minutes into your walk. The beach below you is Porthallack. Pass through another kissing gate and onto the beach. 
Make for the back of the beach and head up onto Trerose Estate property. If the tide is well out it may be possible to walk along the shore to the next beach westwards - Porth Saxon (Sawsen). Facilities
