The 0.8 km (0.5 mi) stretch of golden sands and calm, clean waters are safe for swimming and have earned it both a Blue Flag Award and a recommendation from the Marine Conservation Society. Seals are often seen in the bay itself while a more constant view is that of the Godrevy Lighthouse. Cliff top walks along the South West Coast Path lead to Carbis Bay and Lelant.
