Falmouth has three main beaches, the most popular of them, Gyllyngvase is only two minutes walk from Headlands.Gyllyngvase:  This beach has been a popular beach for swimmers since the victorian times, it has a steady gradient so it is ideal for  children to paddle in, for some recreational splashing or even some serious swimming.  During the season it has full lifeguard cover and it was awarded a Blue Flag for the 2009-2010 season.Overlooking the beach is the silver award winning gyllybeach cafe which is a great place to grab a light lunch,cold drink or warming pot of tea.

For children (young and old) when the tide is low, large areas of rook pools are left uncovered, you can spend an hour or so searching for minnows, crabs and other sea creatures.
