| Cornwall has an abundance of fine beaches that are suitable for swimming in the sea. Check out the Visiting Cornwall Beach Guide for details about the Cornish beaches. There is also a link on the beach guide to our beach safety page, which carries advice for people swimming in the sea. If your preference is for swimming in a swimming pool then, in addition to this page, have a look on our page for Gyms, Fitness Centres and Leisure Centres. There are swimming pools at many of the Leisure Centres. |
