| Harlyn Bay
â |
|
 |
On the
eastern side of Trevose Head sits Harlyn Bay. The two thirds of a
mile of sand and pebbles are backed by the dunes which are
themselves surrounded by the cliffs towards Cataclews Point. These
cliffs form Big Guns Cove. The south east corner of Harlyn village
provides the access to the beach next to a stream that flows on to
the beach. The remains of an old iron age cemetery were discovered
behind the beach below the sand. The cliffs at Trevose Head give
superb views towards Pentire Head and Newquay across the rocky sea

| Mother Ivey's Bay

|
 |
Mother Ivey's is another
excellent beach, again it is sandy with large waves. The sand
does slope steeply though, so the sea gets deep quickly and
means the waves tend not to break until they get to the beach.
There is a large caravan park behind the beach, but the lack of
a car park means this beach tends not to get as crowded as the
others

Booby's â |
|
 |
Booby's Bay is a beautiful isolated beach. It has fine golden
sand and some rocky outcrops. There are some fantastic
cliffwalks including a collapsed sea cave called "Round Hole".
The beach is quite isolated but is well worth a visit.

The beach at
Constantine Bay is backed by large dunes blanketed in marram
grass and is defined by the low headlands and rocky islands that
head out to sea. The dunes to the rear of the beach have been
planted with marram grass to help stabilise them.
The rocky beach can provide
many rock pools well worth exploring
