The sea view was amazing and the beach was a sight to behold. Boat rides and walks up to Saint Mawes Castle which was like a real life Game of Thrones experience. Overall, it is a beautiful place to relax and have time for family and enjoy nature at its best artistic experience. · via Google [Silver Stone](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109746879982491350879/reviews) ★★★★★ Great location.. Tranquil and ideal for families or cyclists alike. Good selection of restaurants. A perfect day out. ** Image taken by myself.

Car park & toilets up from beach make it suitable for young families with littlies to tend to. Nearby hotels overlooking beach make it an ideal weekend get away or if a day out, simply having lunch out for a treat - recommend the "Idle Rocks" with outside veranda area & superb views (a must if love seafood😉). Equally lovely with delicious food & superb friendly staff is the "Rising Sun". Further along seafront are gift/artisanal shops, charming pubs, elegant restaurants, hotels & old fashioned cottages with pretty backstreet lanes. Recommend taking Ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth Harbour where good views of the stunning St Mawes Castle & Pendennis Castle can be achieved (latter at Falmourh). Crossing takes 20 mins with 3 ferries per hour April - October & hourly during winter. Bikes & dogs permitted too. Other ferries operate such as Place Ferry, King Harry Ferry & Helford Ferry as well as boat trips. Each ferry allows many walks (short or long) in areas such as the Roseland etc. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486b3c0a6e5ac1e3:0x6578a7c890e5ce7e!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Tredenham Road [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50.1585399%2C-5.0109901) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (83 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Truro [More attractions in Truro](https://staycation.co.uk/truro/attractions) ★ 4.6 (83 reviews) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Truro [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x486b3c0a6e5ac1e3:0x6578a7c890e5ce7e!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486b3c0a6e5ac1e3:0x6578a7c890e5ce7e!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486b3c0a6e5ac1e3:0x6578a7c890e5ce7e!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Truro Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
