Crantock Bay
Crantock Bay is situated on the north coast of Cornwall near the hugely popular town of Newquay. The beach becomes a vast expance of golden sand at low tide but rapidly disappears on the incoming tide due to its flat nature. Crantock Bay lies between the points of East Pentire and West Pentire and is bounded on the northeastern side by the River Gannel. Somewhat quieter than the neighbouring Fistral Beach at Newquay, and arguably a much nicer beach, Crantock Bay is backed up by huge sand dunes which become a haven for sunbathers. The coastal path offers great walking opportunities heading southwest towards Polly Joke Beach and Holywell Bay with stunning views of the north Cornwall coast.
