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.
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!
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.
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.
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!)
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.
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.
