Daymer Bay - North Cornwall
Cornwall Beaches > North Cornwall > Daymer Bay
Good sized stretch of sand bordered by dunes and sandhills. It is comparitively off the beaten track compared to it's neighbours, Rock and Polzeath which gives it a slightly more secluded feel.
The beach is within the mouth of the Camel Estuary so is pretty sheltered and has a gently sloping beach making it safe for swimming.
At south the end of the beach is the grassy mound of Braey Hill which is worth a climb for excellent views of the area. At the foot of the hill a little way from the beach is St Enodoc Church or Sinking Neddy as it is sometimes referred to due to it's close relationship with the sea and sand. It is here that the former Poet Laureate, John Betjeman is buried.
