The Beaches of South Cornwall - S44 - Gyllyngvase Beach

OS Explorer Map 103 The LizardOS Explorer Map 103 The Lizard

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 - Falmouth

Gyllyngvase Beach is a long thin stretch of golden sand facing southeast and overlooked by Pendennis Castle. It can become extremely crowded in summer as there is safe family bathing here and the beach is right in the heart of Falmouth. There are several rock pools to explore. The beach is adjacent to Castle beach and at low water it is possible to walk between the two.
