Kennack Sands

Kennack Sands is a beach in Cornwall featuring two separate sandy sections divided by Carn Kennack hill and rocky coastal outcrops. The shoreline offers varied conditions suitable for different types of beach activities and exploration.

The location became a tourist destination in the 19th century after railway expansion made Cornwall more accessible to visitors. This growth transformed the local landscape and brought increasing numbers of people to enjoy the coast.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share time by the sea and participate in seasonal activities. These gatherings reflect how central the coast is to community life in this area.

The beach has parking facilities and public restrooms in the eastern section. There is also a beach shop and cafe where you can find refreshments and supplies.

The beach holds the status of a designated nature reserve, which distinguishes it in the region. This recognition reflects its geological importance and scientific value as a protected coastal site.
