From the dramatic sweep of Watergate Bay up to the windswept headland of Hartland point, Cornwall and Devon’s north coast beaches offer something for everyone. Best of all, most of it’s easily accessible by the South West Coast Path.
This amazing looking little bay is sheltered from the north by the cliffs of Pencannow and by the headland of Cambeak to the south.
Whether you wish to swim, sunbathe, surf, hunt for marine life in the hundreds of rock pools or just comb the beach for that personal memento, Widemouth offers all this and more.
A National Trust car park can lead you to this lovely beach but beware at low tide when swimming can be dangerous. Life’s a Beach is a great cafe there for you.
Trebarwith with its vast cliffs, dark caves and fine golden sand. Gull Rock is almost reminiscent of a dog’s head, keeping watch off shore. This is the sort of idyllic Cornish beach that features in many tourist brochures.
The closest beach to the town with level access from the Summerleaze car park, but also approached via the Downs or from the Canal at low tide.
Crooklets often provides ideal conditions for surfers and there are regular surf and life-saving demonstrations throughout the year.
Polzeath is a fantastic place to visit at any time of year. Polzeath beach is one of the finest surfing beaches in the UK.
Daymer bay is in the mouth of the Camel estuary and unlike Polzeath has very little in the way of surf…but it is excellent for swimming, windsurfing, boating or canoeing.
Trevone Bay provides a beautiful setting for a traditional Cornish pasty and a picnic. With a safe sandy and rocky beach and excellent surf it’s great for family days by the sea.
Home of the Extreme Academy, where you can learn to surf and all sorts. But, more importantly, home to Jamie Oliver’s new restaurant, Fifteen!
The large expanse of pale golden sand framed by cliffs and sand dunes offers both space and seclusion.
One of the seven bays for seven days that can be found along this stretch of the North Cornwall coastline is Treyarnon bay, an excellent beach for all manner of seaside activities.
Constantine Bay and Boobies Bay are two stunning beaches, both crescents of soft golden sand that form one long beach at low tide.
If the surf is up then locals and holidaymakers alike can be found here all year round. New facilities available which include showers, lifeguard centre and first aid facilities.

We had a short stay at Woodovis and were blow away at the effort the team has put into their holiday park. The facilities are immaculate and there is all you could think of and more – a lovely pool, shop, kids play area, games room, clean bathroom and showering facilities, washing up areas and easy access to bathrooms and water for campers. You’ve done a great job Woodovis team, we would definitely come back!

Wonderful campsite – Tripadvisor.co.uk 2023
Woodovis is just the best site that we have ever stayed. We stayed in a static caravan which had everything you would ever need. Most importantly it was spotlessly clean. All the staff are so friendly welcoming and extremely helpful! This site is the perfect holiday park in a fantastic location & in my opinion suits every age. There is a wonderful swimming pool with a sauna. Small playground for the children, great walks! It’s just the most peaceful family park!
