Sharrow (aka Grotto) Beach

Explore / United Kingdom / Cornwall

Sharrow Point beach is also known as Grotto Beach and is an excellent sandy beach with rock pools. The beach is dog-friendly and divided into smaller coves due to small outcrops of rocks, making it necessary to keep an eye on the tides as areas can be cut off during high tide.

The name Grotto comes from the National Trust property, which preserves a small cave excavated by hand in 1874 by a hermit called Lugger, the cave is fenced off to the public. Lugger inscribed verses on the ceiling to relieve his boredom.

The beach has seasonal lifeguards as the currents are powerful, and it is recommended only to swim when lifeguards are on patrol.

You have a small car park on the coast road and then a walk involving some steep steps down to the beach. You can also access Freathy beach from the car park.
