Long Sands, also known as Tregantle Cliff Beach, is a dog-friendly beach in the long stretch of sand and rocks of Whitsand Bay. When the tide is out, you have a very large beach, but at high tide there is only a small area of sand.
The beach sits within a “Danger Area” below Tregantle Fort, and when the red flags are flying, this signifies that they’re using the firing ranges above the cliffs, and the beach is closed to the public.
Lifeguards are at the beach daily during July, August, and September, then during May and June weekends and bank holidays. The currents can be strong, and it is advised to swim only when the lifeguards are on patrol.
You have a small car park and lay-by by the fort or people park on the road opposite. You then have a short walk through the MoD property to the beach.
