Crantock Beach in North Cornwall offers soft sand and towering dunes

Important notice -

Keeping safe at Crantock Beach 

We want you to enjoy a fabulous and most of all safe visit to Crantock Beach. The River Gannel that runs alongside and sometimes across the beach has changed profile and continues to do so. This means that it’s more important than ever to follow the advice of the RNLI and only swim in designated areas when the lifeguards are present. Lifeguard cover is now finished until Spring 2020. There is limited cover at Fistral beach.
