Sands
You'll need to be competent to surf here at another picturesque
location with white sandy beaches, a couple of miles east of the
Lizard.
The big tidal range creates a super long low-tide beach, which holds
waves up to 4-5ft.
The banks have been excellent in 2001. Facing south, it needs a
big west or south swell to work. North to north-westerly winds are
offshore.
At high tide the beach is cut into two, but the waves tend to get
鈥渇at鈥 and back-off (depending on swell direction). Very mellow vibe
both in and out of the water.
Good parking. Usual out of season facilities - bring your own lunch!
