St Anthony Head Beach is a rocky headland with a 19th century fort and a lighthouse. The area is cared for by the National Trust and is not suitable for swimming, although there are sandy bays nearby. Visitors can bring a picnic and enjoy the views over the Carrick Roads.
A pair of sandy beaches, Little and Great Molunan, lie below the cliffs of St Anthony's Head. These pleasant west-facing coves look out over the mouth of the River Fal. Another nearby beach is Porthbeor Beach, a sandy beach on the tip of the Roseland Peninsula, where the South West Coast Path runs along the top of the beach, offering walkers stunning views. However, this beach is currently only accessible by boat.
The lighthouse at St Anthony's Head has a notable claim to fame, being featured in the 80s kids TV program Fraggle Rock.
St Anthony Head Beach is on The Roseland Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
