Sea Swim Cornwall's Safe swimming Guide - Porthminster
/Welcome to Porthminster Beach, St Ives, Cornwall. Good all-rounder. Just be aware that parking can be a problem in the main season…even if you get there early! Could be worth parking up at St Erth train station and getting the train in. Great train ride too.
Sea Swim Cornwall's Safe Swimming Guide - St Just-in-Roseland
/This one is an absolute stunner! A little remote and slightly tricky to find but well worth the effort. The tiny harbour at St Just-in-Roseland offers one of the most stunning starts and finishes to a swim that you could imagine! Finishing in a quaint little harbour, in the shadow of a stunning church and gardens. I’d go as far as to say that this could be a bucket-lister.

Sea Swim Cornwall's Safe Swimming Guide - Newquay Bay
/Starting from the harbour and working your way across the beach. THIS IS A WORKING HARBOUR AND HAS LOTS OF TRAFFIC. We’d advise that you don’t swim out through the harbour mouth. There us also a jet ski hire business operating from Lusty Glaze.
Sea Swim Cornwall Safe Swimming Guide - Mousehole
/Great swim. Just be really careful swimming through the harbour mouth. This is a quiet harbour but the odd boat does sail/motor through the harbour mouth. Also, if the tide is going out you sometimes (esp with Spring tides) get a bit of a current passing through the mouth. If you get stuck simply exit either side of the harbour, rather than swimming through the mouth.
Sea Swim Cornwall's Safe Swimming Guide - Fistral
/We’d strongly advise that you stay within the bay whilst swimming. The lifeguard service runs for a large percentage of the year, so speak to the lifeguards before swimming.
World famous for surfing. It’s also a fantastic place to swim if there aren’t any waves.

Tom’s home stretch of beach. Very reliable and safe. Perfect for any beginners or someone lacking confidence. If you swim just before or after high tide it’s very shallow the whole way across. Very easy to either swim a short distance to shallow water or swim in shallow water and simply put your feet down.
