[su_wikipedia_link subjectbold=”Cadgwith Beach” wikipage=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadgwith”]Cadgwith has two beaches separated by a promontory called “The Todden”, thought to mean laying ground in Cornish.

To the north-east is the larger beach, made mostly of shingle with a shallow slope, referred to as Cadgwith Cove, Big Beach, The Cove, Fishing Beach, or the Working Cove; all the fishermen work from this beach.

The other smaller beach on the south-west side is a mixture of sand and large boulders and is called Little Cove or Little Beach and used as the swimming beach by locals and holiday-makers. [/su_wikipedia_link]
