Kennack Sands, Sandy beach in Cornwall, England
The beach consists of two sandy areas separated by Carn Kennack hill and coastal rock formations known as Caerverracks.
The beach became a tourist destination in the 19th century when the development of railways made Cornwall more accessible to visitors.
The beach hosts regular events including marine education programs and community gatherings that reinforce the connection between locals and the coast.
Visitors can find parking facilities, public restrooms, cafes, and a beach shop near the eastern section of Kennack Sands.
Kennack Sands holds the distinction of being Cornwall's only beach designated as a nature reserve due to its geological characteristics.
