Closest Beaches

There are plenty of beaches within 15-20 minutes of Little Lodge. Enjoy everything from sandy stretches, rugged coastlines to pebbly coves.
Most spectacular rugged coastline. Lovely walks over beach & rocks at low tide. At high tide when the beach is inaccessible, try a coast path walk & enjoy the views! The Port William pub provides the perfect spot for a relaxed pint to take in the sunset. The Millhouse Inn is another recommended spot for good quality pub grub.

A truly beautiful stretch of beach at low tide with protected sand dunes. St Enodoc Golf Course backs on to the beach & you can enjoy a long leisurely walk to Rock at low tide or round Bray Hill at high tide. Visit St Enodoc Church if you get a chance - a tiny 11th century church & the resting place of the poet John Betjeman. The perfect spot for an evening beach BBQ to watch the sun go down. There is a small cafe serving snacks during the day. Parking is available above the beach with a short set of steps down.
