  • Swanpool beach is located on the edge of Falmouth and often plays second choice to the larger, sandier Gyllyngvase beach next door.

    The beach is quite sheltered but has no lifeguard service. Along with a cafe and toilets across the road Swanpool is home to a number of beach huts.

    The name comes from the large pond on the other side of the road, which is nature reserve.
