Home Practical Council car parks Cornwall Council lists 161 car parks on its website. Here they all are, grouped by the council’s own areas, with postcodes, spaces, opening hours and the nearest beach in our guide.
Before you park We do not quote charges, which change; each car park name links to its council page with current tariffs and payment options. Spaces and opening hours are as the council lists them. “–” means the council page does not say. 2 car parks are marked by the council as short stay (3 hours or less, no return within 3 hours). The council lists 0 car parks as allowing motorhomes; check the individual page for conditions. Beach distances are straight-line, our own calculation, to the Environment Agency sampling point. They are not walking routes. Many beach car parks are run by the National Trust, parish councils or private owners and are not on this list.
