Harlyn Bay
Harlyn Bay is a reasonable-sized stretch of golden sand not far from the popular harbour town of Padstow. Backed by sand dunes and low cliffs Harlyn is a firm family favourite.
Rated as one of the best spots in Cornwall to learn to surf, the beach has a seasonal lifeguard service. Harlyn is also one of the few quality beaches in Cornwall to be dog friendly all year round.
