Hayle Towans Beach - North Cornish Coast
Also known as Upton Towans
Cornwall Beaches > North Cornish Coast > Hayle Towans Beach
This expanse of beach is what makes up most of Hayle's '3 miles of golden sand'. At low tide all the Hayle beaches join up to provide an impressive stretch of sand popular with sand yachts and kite buggies.
Despite being directly in front of a substantial caravan the beach is so vast that it very rarely gets crowded.

parking: There is a car park in the caravan/campsite behind. There usually isn't a problem parking here but I have heard of people being turned away at the gate in summer.
Surfing at Hayle Towans Beach
The most commonly surfed spot on this stretch of beach is 'The Site' named after the caravan site in the dunes behind.
Being more sheltered from the swell than Gwithian and Godrevy plus facing a little mor north makes 'The Site' a good choice when there's a big north coast swell and the wind is due south
On a good day you'll get really long walling lefts and rights but you'll be doing a good deal of paddling too.
Tends to be better towards high tide.
lifeguard service: Lifeguard service in Summer.
Dogs: No dogs (Easter to October)
