Crantock Beach
Just 5 minutes in the car or 20 minutes’ walk you will find Crantock beach, which is considered one of the finest beaches in Cornwall and is National Trust owned. At low tide you can explore the wide expanse of golden sand, enjoy paddle boarding on the Gannel estuary or explore Piper’s Hole cave and the hidden rock carvings. For the adventurous you will find the Big Green Surf School or alternatively enjoy a relaxing walk around the picturesque Rushy Green sand dunes which back onto the beach.
There is a café and food truck which operate at high season, with National Trust as well as private parking.
The beach is child and access friendly, with RNLI cover provided from May until September; however, care should be taken when bathing due to strong currents generated by the Gannel estuary. It is advised that visitors should swim only when lifeguards are on duty and between the red and yellow flags.
For those wishing to venture further, you can cross the Gannel and walk the steps up the Fern Pitt café to enjoy one of their famous crab sandwiches or alternatively walk around to West Pentire and the secluded Polly Joke beach – which is popular with the local seals!
