Saunton Sands 3 miles of flat sand backed by massive sand dunes. Excellent surfing beach and ideal for all water sports. Manned with lifeguards. Wheelchair accessible. Shop, toilet etc. at car park end of beach - although you can get away from the crowds by just walking further along the beach. Try to arrive early as car parking space is limited and can fill up on busy days.

Croyde This award winning sandy beach is just around the corner from Saunton Sands, and is easily accessible. There is plenty of car parking and it is excellent for swimming, surfing, windsurfing etc. The beach is manned with lifeguards. At one end of the beach there is equipment hire, a shop, refreshments and toilets. From here the beach is wheelchair accessible.

Hartland Quay & Hartland Point
The coast around Hartland Point is one of Britain's most treacherous. At least 36 ships were wrecked on the 4 miles centred on Hartland Quay alone between 1800 and 1920. This small museum tells it all, and also has displays on the little port itself and its smuggling days, natural history, and the incredibly contorted rock layers hereabouts. Six circular walks start from the museum. The beach at Hartland Quay is rocky with numerous pools and the cliffs are spectacular with contorted rock formations. There are lovely views from Hartland Point although you are unable to climb down to the beach below. Nearby - Hartland Abbey

Crooklets Beach, Bude - There are three miles of beaches in the area and Crooklets beach is estimated to be a close second to Australia's Bondi Beach.

Widemouth Bay - approximately two and a half miles south is a long sandy beach also very popular with surfers. On Bude and Widemouth there are rock pools at low tide where children can while away many hours with shrimping nets and crab lines.

Summerleaze, Bude
	North of Newquay, Bude is largest 'surf city' which is visited by high number of surfers throughout the year so Summerleaze beach gets very crowded in high season. It is a sheltered beach break north of the river mouth. Works through all tide stages and is suitable for beginners.

Treyarnon Bay
Treyarnon boasts one of the most unspoilt beaches in North Cornwall. Its sandy bay lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty next to Constantine Bay. It also boasts one of the cleanest beaches. The coastal path provides some of the most spectacular views in North Cornwall.

Constantine Bay
This wide, sweeping arc of gently shelving soft pale sands is backed by large marram-covered dunes. It is bounded on either side by low headlands with rocky outcrops stretching seaward. Few facilities are available at the beach.

Trevone Bay

A lovely sandy beach set in a cove. It is situated in an area of great geological interest.
