Treyarnon Bay
A short walk from Constantine sits Treyarnon Bay, a clean and sandy north west facing beach backed by sand dunes and surrounded by low cliffs. To the north is Treyarnon Point and the south, Trethias Island, both of which provide some shelter. It is one of the most popular beaches in the area, especially with families because the expanse of soft sands and low waters. Indeed , it was recommended in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide in 2014 as one of the best family beaches in the Padstow area.
There are lots of sand and rock pools stretching round one side of the beach which are ideal for children to explore. These rockpools are teeming with life such as shrimps, crabs and small fish. There is even a natural "swimming pool" within the rocks to the north of the beach.

Dec 01st 2021Just arrived at Treyarnon beach on a short car trip from Crantcock and my goodness what fantastic views on a stormy day. The waves crashing on the rocks surrounding the bay were magnificent to watch, although 40+ mph winds but with the sun shining it was beautiful. The youth hostel along the track past the public toilets sold coffee and cake which was really good. It only cost £1. In the car park, which is so much cheaper than a lot of places. A great beach to walk on although quite steep to get onto. A beautiful beach worthy of a wander.

Oct 04th 2021I’ve been lucky enough to travel widely, I still rate this beach as one of the best beaches in the world. Oh those lucky souls who own the small number of properties above the beach… I wish!
Not really disabled friendly

Jul 18th 2021Lovely family beach but not flat to get on the beach at all. Quite a slope which is not suitable for anyone in a wheelchair or who has difficulty walking. Disabled people could set up on the grass near the car park but this is above the beach and would not allow them access to the sand or water. Disabled toilet uses local Yale radar key.
