7 Bays for 7 Days

Day 1 Porthcothan Beach A pleasant family beach with plenty of sand at low tide. Also some sand dunes. Access to the beach is level. Turn left out of the site, go around the sharp bend and take the immediate left. There is a pay and display meter so please take some change!! Dogs are permitted on this beach.

Day 2 Constantine Bay A wide sandy beach with many rock pools and plenty of sand. There is a sloping path to the beach. Parking is limited at Constantine Bay and it is better to park at Treyarnon Bay and walk the coast path to Constantine Bay (only takes 10 minutes). This long surfing beach is great if you love the waves.

Day 3 Mother Ivey’s Bay This is a picturesque and pleasant sandy beach. Unfortunately there are no facilities and no parking. Access is via the coast path, a 20 minute walk from Harlyn Bay but worth it.

Day 4 Booby’s Bay This wide sandy beach with many rock pools is popular with surfers and families. Park at Treyarnon Bay or Constantine Bay and walk the coast path to Boobys Bay. There is limited parking at Constantine Bay, so Treyarnon is a better option. Access to the beach is by climbing down over rocks from the coast path or walking along the beach at low tide

Day 5 Harlyn One of the best family beaches in Cornwall, Harlyn Bay is a wide and spacious beach popular with families and surfers. There are several access points to the beach. The coast path can be walked to Mother Ivey’s Bay and Trevose Head. Note that part of the coast path is on the beach, so this route may be impassable at high tide. There is a lovely pub opposite the beach which is very popular.

Day 6 Trevone Bay Pleasant sandy bay popular with families. There is a small slope to the beach (and steps from one of the car parks). To the west of the main beach there is also a rocky beach with tidal pool. There is excellent scenery and good coastal walks to Trevose Head.

Day 7 Treyarnon Treyarnon Bay is situated in an area of natural beauty, it’s a clean beach which at low tide reveals a large area of golden sand. There are numerous rock pools to explore and sheltered small coves ideal for sun bathing.
