Possibly one of Cornwall's best kept secrets, Rame Head has been a place of human settlement since at least the iron age. The banks and ditches of an iron age fort are still visible and perched on top of Rame Head is a medieval chapel. If you're lucky, you will also see the wild Dartmoor ponies that roam the peninsula.

With over three miles of sand, backed by majestic cliffs and tidal rock pools, you are in for a treat. Visitors to the county will usually drive right past this area, plus access to the beach is down a steep slope, so you can expect a much quieter bay. Dogs are welcome all year round too.
