Praa Sands can be found on Cornwall’s south east coast and lies within Cornwall’s National Landscape. The beach’s geological features have also gained it recognition as a Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Site (RIGS), after erosion exposed a thin layer of 2000 year-old peat once buried deep below the sand dunes.
