Hendra Beach is located inbetween Helston and Penzance, actually its connected to Praa Sands beach and makes up 1/2 of the huge beach. Its golden sandy beach sees less foot traffic than Praa Sands due to there not being any car park and a lengthy walk away from the car park therefore in summer can be a lot quieter than Praa Sands. An amazing family friendly beach provides everything you need but the facilities are a long walk away if you need them so make sure you check you have everything before walking down to Hendra. The left hand side of the beach is great for rock pooling and fishing, perfect to keep the children busy.
