One satisfied visitor said: “A gorgeous clean beach to relax on. The staff running it were really lovely and welcoming both in the car park and the cafe. Nice clean toilets that had classical music piped in (first time for me! ). The beach and the cafe are a short walk from the carpark which is great if you have mobility issues.”

Another added: “Very clean beach with clear water, private beach and you can tell even the bins were clean! Spent the day there, parking on site and toilets. Nice food place too. Absolutely a place to visit on a nice hot day and if in the area.”

Hot on the heels of Blackpool Sands, Newquay’s Fistral Beach clinched second position. One in every five TripAdvisor reviews highlighted the excellent cleanliness of this popular Cornish beach.

A happy beach-goer said: “Gorgeous beach for a walk. Swimmers and surfers hanging here so busy. Lifeguards in attendance too. Spotlessly clean beach with a breeze. Food and toilets also available with restaurants and take away options.”
