Booley Beach - circular walks

Booley Beach

The beach at Booley Beach, Cornwall

A stony path leads down from the coast path to Booley beach. There is little or no beach at high tide but as the tide goes out, a sandy beach is revealed. On a really low spring tide, Booley beach can join with Par beach.

There is a reef along the left side of Booley beach that is exposed as the tide goes out, creating some rockpools. Quite a lot of kelp grows on the reef which can end up washed up on the beach after a storm.

Booley Beach can only be reached on foot (or from the sea).
