Description

Harlyn Bay is a sheltered sandy beach on Cornwall's north coast.

The beach offers a shallow sandy shore that get's some fun surf when the conditions are right, though doesn't seem to get too gnarly due to it's sheltered position.

Lots of rocky outcrops, bays and caves to explore.

Facilities

Lifeguards on duty at the surf school during peak months, toilets, lots of parking and a 4wd ice-cream van.

Put-ins / Take-outs

From the main beach. Nice shallow, sandy spot.

Hazards

Can get very busy. Novice surfers getting in the way. Submerged rocks around the edges of the bay that are well capable of puncturing a hull.
