Cawsand (Cornish: Porthbugh) and Kingsand are twin villages in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. They are joined together and appear as one village. You can walk from the center of one to the other in about 5 minutes without knowing they are 2 villages. The village is situated on the Rame Peninsula and is in the parish of Maker-with-Rame.

Cawsand overlooks Plymouth Sound and adjoins Kingsand, formerly on the border of Devon and Cornwall (the border has since been moved and now is situated on the River Tamar). Once a renowned smuggling village, Cawsand now has pubs and shops as well as a beach and water sports.

Cawsand is within Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. There are frequent bus services to the city of Plymouth which is three miles to the north across Plymouth Sound. There is also a ferry service in the summer (from Cawsand beach to Plymouth Hoe).

Cawsand has a main square with shop/cafe and a pub. Direct access from the square goes down onto Cawsand beach where there are various water sports to take part in

Sailing, Canoeing, paddle boarding as well as lots of sea swimming even in the winter!

Cawsand is a quiet and traditional Cornish village, somewhere you can come to get away from everything. There is a shop on the square where you can get great pasties as well as Ice Creams or fish and chips, plus all your usual groceries. The Cross Keys Inn is a popular pub on the square.

On the old county boundary between the two villages there is still a house called Devon Corn, which has the marker on the front of the house. The villages are popular with tourists but retain their traditional character.
