Tregardock Beach totally disappears at high tide, at low tide it is one of the most picturesque beaches on the north coast and also one of the least visited.There are numerous outcrops stretching the length of the beach, the quality of the rock is suspect to say the least. That said there are numerous outcrops located SW along the beach which provide a number of short and reasonably solid routes.Tregardock is home of the only mountain in Cornwall and its north face is yet to be conquered. The mountain is a large knoll with a quarried north face wall. The rock is steep and loose with little in the way of protection.
