Praa Sands, South West Coast Path

£8 for 24hrs, choice of 2 carparks (one has a toilet block and outdoor cold showers.) the best beach you could ask for in the UK and its lifeguarded too. pub serves nice food and there is a surf hire shop. no other shops though and phone signal is non existent. very popular with surfers and beach goers and gets extremely busy in summer so arrive very early or very late. car parking company do regular checks so make sure your ticket is displayed properly and don't let it run out! we stayed 2 nights and there is no limit on staying as long as you pay

Brilliant spot £8 to stay for 24hrs just be careful as there are cameras watching you go in and out. Limited 4g coverage at the front over looking the sea. Pub around the corner (Sandbar) let us fill up our water after a drink there. Toilets were closed maybe due to Covid maybe due to season.

Brilliant flat carpark with awesome views if your lucky enough to park up overlooking the beach. There's toilets open 24h down the road in the other carpark. Make sure you bring change to pay for the parking as theres no way of paying on a parking app. Pubs 2 minute walk away serving good food at reasonable prices. This has become our new favourite place to stay

Great views £8.00 for 24hours. Level at the French over looking the sea or at the entrance on the rhs. Please make sure you pay and keep the place tidy as many areas in Cornwall are now posting no over night stays.

Brilliant views and location, £8 for 24hrs but make sure ticket is displayed in windscreen as you will get a fine in the post and can’t contest it. We had it in the side window first time we came due to having a screen cover. So second time round didn’t make that mistake! Toilets not the cleanest but ok. No shower was available. But the views are second to none :)

We went there on our first camper trip. The spots are lovely and the view was amazing. There are toilets open 24 h. Was just 8 pounds for 24h stay.

Really nice spot, overlooking the beach. Good facilities - toilets open 24/7, cafe/pub is until 11pm (but no loud noise). Small car park is good for small campers and parking is reasonable price for 8 for 24 hours. Surf hire available and nice walks to the other beaches nearby

Excellent spot to stay day and night £8 24 hours, waste disposal point at the side of the toilets, the toilets where closed due to covid when we visited July 2020, great walks either way to the left is Porthleven which is idealyic and to the right Perranuthnoe which has a great little cafe on the hillside overlooking the sea.

One of the best parks on the best beaches in the area. Cafe presently closed as it look likes it’s under refurbishment. Public Toilets are presently closed.

2 car parks with direct access to the beach either side of a bar/restaurant & cafe with surf hire. £8.00 for 24 hours the smaller car park on the right hand side facing the beach has a shower & toilets 24 hour. The chap patrolling the car park is also a keen RV traveller

Wunderbar zum übernachten und direkt am super Surfstrand. Abends kann man im Strandrestaurant Essen gehen und morgens im Strandcafe frühstücken ab 9 Uhr. Mehr braucht es nicht. Durch den Kiesplatz und da es ein normaler Parkplatz ist, wird es morgens etwas lauter, wenn die ersten Tagesgäste drauf fahren

Bon aparcament per passar la nit escoltant el mar. Durant el dia s'omple de cotxes. No wc ni aigua. Platja molt gran i bonica.

Belle emplacement pour le surf, payant comme partout, mais nuit possible.

Toller Blick, wenn man einen Platz in der ersten Reihe bekommt, und direkter Strandzugang. Wenn man vor 19:30 ankommt auch nicht teurer, als Maggie's nebenan, bei längerem Aufenthalt sogar günstiger. Ticket nicht vergessen, es wird regelmäßig kontrolliert!

I normally try to steer away from paying for parking however with the nearby free spots being full we found this spot and could not turn down the views and convenience of the beach for a small fee of £8 for 24 hours. Totally recommend and would stay again!

2 car parks. This is Big gravel one has no toilets and is used by bigger self contained vans. But back up to fence for views out to the beach and sea. The one further down next to the cafe has public loos 24/7 but is smaller and a bit slopey. This is More popular with smaller VW vans.
