Finnygook beach

The beach at Finnygook, Cornwall

Finnygook beach is situated to the left of Portwrinkle harbour, on the other side of a rock platform between the two. There is normally a beach at all states of the tide although it's a fairly narrow strip at high tide. The top of the beach is greyish sand and as the tide goes out, a rock platform is revealed which contains rockpools.
