Coastal Walks in Falmouth
At one with nature
Cornwall is surrounded by beautiful walking routes, with stunning views from the many coastal paths available to the public.
De-stress from day-to-day life with a walk along the cliff paths and beaches, breathe in the fresh sea air and enjoy the many weathers and landscapes of Falmouth.
Being drawn to the coast and the expanses of blue is natural, offering us calming and soothing spaces for our mental and physical well-being. The sounds of the waves, the surrounding nature and wildlife are the perfect way to spend an hour or two of your day.
St Michaels Resort is a two minute walk away from the wonders of the South West Coast Path, making it the perfect starting point for your next adventure.
Pendennis Point offers a circular walk overlooking Falmouth Harbour and the Bay. Walk from St Michaels Resort to the headland and enjoy a stroll with sea views and a sheltered route.
Take a break from your walk around the coast and step into the historic Pendennis Castle to add a touch of Cornish culture to your walk, before heading back along the beautiful beaches available to you.
A smaller section of the nearby coast path will take you between Gyllyngvase and Swanpool beaches, allowing you to decide on your seaside destination for the day with ease. Pop along the winding path and find yourself on the shingled beach popular with local sea swimmers.
Swanpool is also the perfect destination for those looking for some beachside activities.
The Roseland Peninsula is covered in stunning coastal paths and walks perfect for a day away from Falmouth. Catch the ferry over to St Mawes and begin your adventure.
Wander around St Anthony Headland and discover the church and lighthouse standing guard, or take a circular route around St Just Creek to Messack Point to see the spectacular harbour views.
Just across the harbour you will find the villages of Flushing and Mylor within walking distance of each other. This walk shows you what goes on on the opposite side of the river as you meander from the coastal village of Flushing to the harbour village of Mylor.
Enjoy cafes and markets as you travel between the two in a circular walk, or begin with a bus to flushing and a ferry back across to Falmouth to end your day.
Out and About
Enjoy time out in nature and take in the views of the surrounding seas as you enjoy getting outside and becoming one with nature for a short stroll or a longer coastal hike.
Once you’re done you can return to a comfortable room and refuel with your feet up at St Michaels.
