Peter's Point Beach
St Ives, Cornwall
Peters Point beach is part of the 3 miles of Golden sands at Hayle. A sandy beach at low tide with rocky areas and little cut off coves at high tide. The beach is backed by fairly unstable shale cliffs with a footpath carved into the cliff face providing limited access. It is the start of the “dog friendly†section and provides a section of beach that allows for people to get away from the crowds. There is no vehicular access at all.
