From the dramatic sweep of Watergate Bay up to the windswept headland of Hartland point, Cornwall and Devon’s north coast beaches offer something for everyone. Best of all, most of it’s easily accessible by the South West Coast Path.
This amazing looking little bay is sheltered from the north by the cliffs of Pencannow and by the headland of Cambeak to the south.
Whether you wish to swim, sunbathe, surf, hunt for marine life in the hundreds of rock pools or just comb the beach for that personal memento, Widemouth offers all this and more.
A National Trust car park can lead you to this lovely beach but beware at low tide when swimming can be dangerous. Life’s a Beach is a great cafe there for you.
Trebarwith with its vast cliffs, dark caves and fine golden sand. Gull Rock is almost reminiscent of a dog’s head, keeping watch off shore. This is the sort of idyllic Cornish beach that features in many tourist brochures.
The closest beach to the town with level access from the Summerleaze car park, but also approached via the Downs or from the Canal at low tide.
Crooklets often provides ideal conditions for surfers and there are regular surf and life-saving demonstrations throughout the year.
Polzeath is a fantastic place to visit at any time of year. Polzeath beach is one of the finest surfing beaches in the UK.
Daymer bay is in the mouth of the Camel estuary and unlike Polzeath has very little in the way of surf…but it is excellent for swimming, windsurfing, boating or canoeing.
Trevone Bay provides a beautiful setting for a traditional Cornish pasty and a picnic. With a safe sandy and rocky beach and excellent surf it’s great for family days by the sea.
Home of the Extreme Academy, where you can learn to surf and all sorts. But, more importantly, home to Jamie Oliver’s new restaurant, Fifteen!
The large expanse of pale golden sand framed by cliffs and sand dunes offers both space and seclusion.
One of the seven bays for seven days that can be found along this stretch of the North Cornwall coastline is Treyarnon bay, an excellent beach for all manner of seaside activities.
Constantine Bay and Boobies Bay are two stunning beaches, both crescents of soft golden sand that form one long beach at low tide.
If the surf is up then locals and holidaymakers alike can be found here all year round. New facilities available which include showers, lifeguard centre and first aid facilities.

Beautiful, spotless Campsite. Very peaceful and relaxing. Extremely Eco friendly. Loved the swimming pool and spa and even had it completely to ourselves on a couple of occasions. The staff are all very friendly. We will delivery visit again!
We shall return, without a doubt! - Tripadvisor.co.uk 2024
An excellent weeks stay at Woodovis. Clean, warm, well stocked accommodation. Friendly, helpful staff. Plenty to do from the site both on the Moor and off. We’re not big swimmers but even we had a dip and Jacuzzi in the free, beautifully maintained pool. We shall return without a doubt.
Love this place- Tripadvisor.co.uk 2024
Excellent site, immaculately kept. So much more that I discovered this time – the enclosed field for dog walking, the amazing doggy spa, the snack shack and amazing visiting pizza trailer.
Positioned in an outstandingly beautiful place surrounded by so many places of interest and things to do. Super friendly staff. Will be back of course!
Excellent site with lots of fantastic facilities- Tripadvisor.co.uk 2024
Excellent site, the faculties were fantastic, everything you could think of. The indoor pool and spa was great, doggie wash, bike wash and plenty to do. Nice and peaceful at night. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, with a good shop. Close to the lovely town of Tavistock and National Trust places.
