You have Cawsand and Kingsand, two small villages with sand and shingle beaches in Cawsand Bay. The beach in Cawsand has a seasonal dog restriction, not allowing dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am – 6 pm. Kingsand Beach actually split into two, North and South beaches, allows dogs all year.

The sand and shingle beaches are sheltered by Rame Head Peninsula, offering views of Plymouth Sound. There are also rock pools to explore and slipways for easy access to the sea.

Rame Head to the south of Cawsand has some great coastal walks.

The villages have a history of smuggling and fishing, remains of old pilchard cellars from the late 16th century can be seen on the shoreline just beyond Kingsand, these “Pilchard Palaces” were for storing and processing.

Facilities at the beach include slipways, toilets and shops.
