The small sand and shingle beach is accessible at low tide beside the very popular 300 hundred year old Ferry Boat Inn where you can sit back with a cool drink and watch the children play safely on the beach just yards away.

Located on the north side of the estuary where the ferry crosses the river from Helford Passage to Helford, the beach is a popular launching place for motor boats and small yachts and from the village you can hire boats by the hour or for a full day. The South West Coast Path passes nearby with a wonderful walk westwards up the estuary towards the village of Gweek and strolling inland just a mile away are the sub-tropical gardens at Glendurgan.
