Towan Beach is a quiet, south east facing beach near Portscatho on the way to the lighthouse at St Anthony Head. Towan is a sand and shingle beach, with rock pools revealed at low tide.

Towan Beach is located at the southern-most tip of Gerrans Bay near the beaches of Porthbeor (currently only accessible from the sea due to the instability of the cliffs) and Portscatho and can be reached on foot via the South West Coast Path.

Car parking is available year round (National Trust; charges apply). The Thirstea Tea Company is set back from the beach.
