The beach is located on the North Cornwall Coast
is a small, pretty cove that is ideally suited for family days
at the beach.
The bay is located between Porthcothan Bay to the
west and the very popular, Constantine Bay its neighbour, which
lies just around the headland, to the east.
The beach is a narrow "V" shape, with
small cliffs on two sides. At the narrowest part of the beach
where it meets a small valley there is a stream that runs across
the sands. There are also a small number of sand dunes here with
Marram grass. Adjacent to the entrance of the car park by the
edge of the sand dunes, is a small lookout post for the RNLI lifeguard
service. The bay was also the site of the first UK surfing session
during the 1950s.
The
bay is a small sandy beach that is ideal for family holidays and
for surfing. The lifeguard service patrols the beach during the
peak season.
Along the eastern edge of the beach the cliffs
are composed of a shale, mudstone. The cliffs here are very brittle
and the material crumbles very easily, therefore it is highly
advisable not to clamber on them, or if you choose to do so, it
is at your own risk.
Along the eastern fringe of the cove there are
two sea pools.
These two pools trap water from the receding tide providing an
excellent place for children to swim and play during the day.
The low lying cliffs of the eastern fringe of the bay lead to
a small headland. All along the cliffs at regular intervals are
seats where people can sit and enjoy the view.

The road access to the bay is via a very narrow
lane that leads off of the main Newquay to Padstow Road. The
lane is very narrow and restricted in places, so care must be
taken as you approach the bay. There are some passing places along
the lane.
Once you reach the Bay, you will find the car park
is convieniently located in a field on a little rise, located
to the right of the entrance road. In the car park by the entrance
to the beach, there are a few small kiosks selling refreshments
and beach goods. There is also a burger van selling delicous snacks,
sandwiches & fries etc. The toilets are located just outside
of the car park.
From the beach you can walk along the cliff top
to the headland between Treyarnon and Constantine Bay. Here there
are many seats available in which you can enjoy the beautiful
views and the sunset in the evening. From the headland you can
follow the path through a narrow lane into Constantine Bay just
100m away (roughly a 10 minute walk).
This is the view you see as you follow the coastal
path around into Constantine Bay.

Constantine Bay is also another wondferful beach for the family
and by being so close it ensures that neither bay gets too overcrowded,
ensuring lots of space to have fun and relax. Constantine bay
being only a short 10 minutes away also provides great facilities,
although sometimes parking may get a little busy meaning it may
be best to park at Treyarnon car park.
The facilities at Constantine include a surf shop,
toilets, and the lifeguard during the Summer & Easter period.
Nearby Constatine in St. Merryn there are also pubs and restraunts
available, perfect if you're on holiday close by!
