  • Hayle Towans is the start of a three mile stretch of sand that joins up with Gwithian and Godrevy at low tide. The Hayle end of the beach is the most developed, but the beach is so vast it rarely feels crowded. Backed by a large area of sand dunes.

    (I accidentally gave a thumbs down to this amazing beach)
    A beautiful, beautiful place. Vast beach, big skies. I can’t understand why I’ve never seen this place rated in the world’s top beaches.
