Relax and watch the waves at Crantock Beach, a quiet sandy stretch sheltered by dunes on the River Gannel estuary. Forming a part of the expanse between Pentire and West Pentire headlands, the beach also features high cliffs at the southern end, which provide shelter from the wind and calm waters for children and less experienced swimmers. Elsewhere ample waves set the scene for the onsite surf school. Facilities include restrooms, a snack stand, and umbrella rentals.

Apart from being a lovely clean sandy beach all ages enjoying themselves plus the dogs. Be careful of any currents in Gannel as tide comes in. Parking spaces can be a problem as extremely busy . People spacing sensibly on beach

A great beach with plenty of space to spread out. Get there early as the carparks fill up quick, good clean toilets and the south west coast nearby to explore.
