      Great Molunan beach is a small cove with a sandy beach. Popular with boating families as Great Molunan beach overlooks the entrance to Falmouth harbour. Little Molunan beach, the smaller beach to the east is less popular as it is only accessible at low tide or by boat. However, it has a rocky area, which is great for rock pooling. Small car park at St Anthony’s Head and then a walk via a steep cliff path.

      You don’t need to spend ages figuring out why this cafe is called The Hidden Hut as it is a wooden hut next to Porthcurnick beach, which is itself an isolated beach. The cafe has a varied menu but has beautifully cooked food on an outdoor stove or in the indoor bakery oven. Note that as this is remote it has no telephone line or mobile signal and so no need to book just come and enjoy!

      Porthcurnick beach is a wide isolated sandy beach with rock pools and at low tide some smaller coves become accessible. The beach is managed by the National Trust and is located at the end of a narrow lane with no parking, it is advised to park in the New Road, Portscatho car park and take the coast path. This stretch of Roseland Peninsula coast is worth exploring with Portscatho around St Anthony Headland to the west, or to the east you have Carne and Pendower beaches. The beach has The Hidden Hut cafe and a slipway although if you have a boat beware of the narrow single track lane access.
