Vault Beach, Coastal beach near Gorran Haven, England
The curved shoreline stretches along the south coast of Cornwall, featuring a combination of sand and shingle that extends 110 meters from the water.
The beach earned its name from the maritime incidents where bodies from shipwrecks near Dodman Point would wash up on its shore during sailing times.
The western section of the beach has developed into a designated area for naturist activities, attracting visitors seeking clothing-optional experiences during summer months.
Access requires a 20-minute walk from the National Trust car park in Gorran Haven, with no direct facilities available on the beach itself.
Grey seals frequent the waters near the beach, particularly during quiet periods when fewer visitors are present on the shoreline.
