About
Wide sandy beach with reliable, gently peeling waves and seasonal lifeguard cover.
Beginners
One of Cornwall's most consistent beginner beaches — long stretches of sand and forgiving whitewash.
Intermediate
Best on a mid-to-high tide with a light offshore breeze; can produce clean waist-to-chest peaks.
