Freathy Beach is a small, sandy beach with a large number of rocky outcrops. The beach is approximately 300 metres wide and is backed by steep cliffs. It is situated in Whitsand Bay on the south coast of Cornwall, near the village of Tregonhawke in East Cornwall. The beach is very popular with both locals and visitors.
The beach has easy access, with a car park and a small path and steps leading down to the beach. Visitors are advised to beware of high tide, when the beach divides into a number of small coves.
Freathy Beach is part of Whitsand Bay, a long stretch of sandy beach that runs from Rame Head to Portwrinkle. The area is popular with walkers of The South West Coast Path, which winds its way along the cliff tops. Whitsand Bay is also known for its surfing spot, although there are no facilities, and access to the beach can be difficult.
There are RNLI Lifeguards on duty along the beach between May and October, as there can be dangerous currents. Visitors are advised to look out for the red flags at the western end of Whitsand Bay beach, which is closed during Tregantle Fort firing range operation.
The beach is dog friendly all year round.
Freathy Beach is adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
