Westwinds sits at the heart of North Cornwall's Seven Bays — each with its own character, from sheltered coves to surf-battered headlands. Over the stile and you're in the dunes; ten minutes by car opens up the rest.
Boobys’s Bay
Our favourite and just a minutes walk from the house. At low tide it merges with Constantine to form over half a mile of unbroken golden sand. The name comes from a gannet-like seabird once spotted diving offshore in storms. Dog-friendly all year round. The best for surfing but check the tides!

Harlyn Bay Beach
One of Cornwall's best all-round beaches — wide, sandy, and sheltered enough for families yet with rolling Atlantic swells that keep surfers coming back. And a fabulous beach sauna! Dog-friendly year-round with no seasonal restrictions.

Constantine Bay
A sweeping west-facing stretch of pale sand just along the coast, with consistent surf, rockpools and a surf shop and fabulous village shop nearby. At low tide it connects directly to Booby's Bay — popular with surfers and rock-pool enthusiasts alike.

Mother Ivey's Bay
Cushioned from the wind by Merope Rocks and tucked behind Trevose Head, this sheltered gem rarely gets too crowded. A personal favourite for both summer sandcastles and romantic winter walks.Wonderful for a swim before breakfast (or at any time of the day!)

Treyarnon Bay
A north-west-facing sandy cove surrounded by low cliffs and backed by dunes, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Excellent for rock pooling with its own natural swimming pool.
Rock Pools
Treyarnon Bay Sea Pool
A naturally formed sea pool — perfect for a refreshing dip away from the surf. The Beach Box Café next door has a wood-fired pizza oven and bar open into the evenings.
