Par Sands is a wonderful, wide sandy beach
situated on the sheltered coastline of South East
Cornwall. Located at Par, a lovely village between
Fowey and St Austell, the beach is very popular with
families as it offers lots of space, safe bathing
and has achieved the Mandatory Water Quality
standard. There are sand dunes providing a perfect
environment for children to explore and there is a
lagoon that attracts interesting wildlife.
Windsurfing is very popular and dogs are allowed all
year round.
The beach provides
Disabled Access, toilets and a café and there are
local shops. There is a large car park and picnic
area. Par Beach can be reached by public transport
as there is a bus stop at the entrance and a
mainline railway station at Par itself.
The sand is of an
excellent quality and with the beach being extremely
flat it provides very safe bathing for children.
Behind the beach
there is a caravan park but owing to the beach size
it never feels crowded.
