At the end of a narrow valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, backing into the village of Crackington, Crackington Haven Beach offers shelter from the elements but only by comparison to the exposed coastline. The beach is all rocks and shingle, and has a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to October. There’s parking at the beach, so remember to take cash for pay and display, and there are two cafes, a pub, surf hire and toilet facilities close by. There’s also lifeguard cover in the height of summer.
Lovely location on a sunny day.

Lovely cove and beach, ample parking and facilities with a great café and pub. Beach is predominantly stones - which are beautiful and unique - life guard on duty and big waves - some care needed in the sea with seaweed and some dips - well worth a visit.

Millook isn’t really a bathing beach but is well known amongst experience surfers, fishermen and those who enjoy some peace and quiet to observe the abundant wildlife – seals and dolphins are often spotted here as well as waders and birds of prey. The beach is also of great geological interest mainly for the imposing Penalt Cliff which towers above it.

Just a mile along the road from Tintagel lies Bossiney Cove, a beautiful hidden gem which is completely covered at high tide. Access to the beach is via a footpath over some farmland and then by steep steps down to the small sandy beach. At the right hand side of the cove there is a great cave to explore that is 60 feet high at the entrance, also see if you can spot the elephant rock hidden in the cliff face! This beach is dog friendly all year and parking can be found in a nearby layby at the top.
It’s closed off because of a rock fall. It would have been good to know this in advance.

The wild Blackrock Beach is found on the south side of Widemouth Bay but becomes isolated at high tide. The point and reef breaks here make is a well known spot for surfers, and the rock pools exposed at low tide draw families and nature lovers of all ages to this lovely spot. The cool little café here serves a tasty brunch or lunch including some great seafood.
