Pentewen Sands

Pentewen sands is a south east facing sandy beach and is mostly private owned by the holiday park located at the top of the beach. Although the beach is mostly private owned it is open for public use. Access is via the northern end at the former harbour, now silted up and out of action. Launching is possible in low swell and provides good access to Mevagissey Bay. Clean ground predominates although some rough ground can be found around Black Head to the North East if your willing to paddle a little further.

Parking: A small pay and display car park is located approx. 350m from the beach. Access to the beach is along a sandy path.

Species: Plaice, Gurnards and Whiting may show to drift fished baits over the clean ground. Pollack, Wrasse, Codling, Pouting and Bass are possible over the rough ground and reefs towards and around Black Head. Bull Huss and Conger are possible if fishing at anchor over any patches of rough ground. Mackerel and Garfish in season.
