The Beaches of West Cornwall - W01 - Whipsiderry Beach

OS Explorer Map 106 Newquay & PadstowOS Explorer Map 106 Newquay & Padstow

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: North Coast - Eastern edge of Newquay

Trevelgue looking NE towards Zacry's Islands


Whipsiderry Beach is a quite large expanse of golden sand. It is bounded to the west by Trevelgue Head and to the East by Zacry's Islands. It is less crowded in summer due to its location away from the main centre of Newquay as well as the steep access path down the cliff. Parking is available at nearby (and far more accessible) Porth beach. There are good coast path walks northeast to Tregurrian Beach at Watergate Bay. Take Care around here as cliff falls are not uncommon - the last one occuring in June 2005!
