The twin villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are located five and a half miles south of Saltash. There are only a handful of shops and pubs in the two villages. The Cross Keys at Cawsand is a charming 17th Century inn with a lot of character and a warm friendly atmosphere. There is a good selection of cask ale on offer, as well as tasty home cooked meals.
The ferry at Cawsand beach runs from 14th April until mid September if the weather is favourable. It links Kinsand and Cawsand to the Plymouth Barbican, only 5 minutes from the City Centre. Even in the height of the summer on occasions there are only a handful of people on the beach even when the sky is blue this is not something seen in other areas of Cornwall. Perhaps the title of the Forgotten Corner of South East Cornwall is an apt description of the Rame Peninsula.
