\u201cAnd without a public swimming pool available, it is a safe place to teach children to swim but no one I know would think of going to Swanpool to start them swimming due to the sludge in the water.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s such a shame, it used to be one of my favourite beaches but the stench and being constantly bitten by sandflies is encouraging me to travel to places like Perranporth and St Ives which are well managed and you don’t have to wade through sludge to be able to swim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a shame for the cafe owners as well – last time I was there, all the people around me were being bitten and all said they would not be back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others echoed her statements with complaints about the beach\u2019s smell and the amount of flies with someone saying they didn\u2019t understand how the beach had so many good reviews: \u201cEverything was so dirty and nowhere near fit for humans let alone families.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sea bed is level and safe for children to practise swimming in.<\/p>\n \u201cBeware though it really isn\u2019t very pleasant to sit on as the seaweed and litter is a real problem. Creating sandcastles with children unearthed lots of litter, food debris and items left by others.<\/p>\n \u201cSadly, the copious amount of seaweed and litter attracts hordes of flies, wasps and other insects. Litter bins were overflowing which only increased this problem. I really wanted to like this place but I doubt we\u2019d return, especially with young children.\u201d<\/p>\n But these complaints are contrasted with glowing reviews from other visitors who say that the beach is cosy and perfect for families with lots of wildlife and facilities.<\/p>\n
