View of Holywell Bay and Gull Rocks

Highlight • River

A great beach for all ages. If you have some time while hiking, then take a break here. Besides a great view of the Gullrocks you will find great caves to explore here at Lowtide. On the north side you will find the cave with stalactite formations that gave the beach its name. For fans of the Poldark series: This beach with its great rocks can be seen again and again in the film.
