Welcome to St Agnes Beacon Caravan Club Site

Get to know St Agnes Beacon Situated at the foot of the Beacon, panoramic views of the Cornish coastline spread before you on this gently sloping site. You’re in the real here, with no smoke or smog polluting the crisp clear air, breathtaking views along the coastline to St Ives, the ever-changing sea below you, and rich flora and fauna to enjoy along the coastal footpath. St Agnes is in walking distance for shopping and eating. The local beaches are excellent - Chapel Porth is a twenty minute walk (five minutes by car), or if you go a little further, and Newquay are amongst the best in Cornwall. Please note that dogs are banned from Chapel Porth beach between Easter and 1 October. Bathing off this coastline can be dangerous and particular note must be taken of any local notices.
