Gwithian beach has a huge expanse of sand at low tide. Errupting from the sand are large rocky outcrops often covered in seaweed, barnacles and other muscles. I climbed up onto one of these to take the panoramic picture. You can see a couple of people playing in the rock pools nearby which gives some sense of scale. Out to sea rolling waves break upon the beach in a continuous roar which often attracts surfers to this beach.

Panorama from a large rocky out crop on Gwithian Beach near to Halye on North Cornwall. Gwithian beach has one of the longest stretches of golden sand in the whole of Cornwall and is a very popular destination amongst the surfing fraternity. The best waves are at mid to low tide. The Gwithian Academy of Surfing surf school operates from Gwithian. This surf school has received a British Surfing Association Approved Level 4 (the highest possible approval rating). This picture shows the expanse of the beach at low tide.

Travel and Getting There:
Take the B3301 road from Hayle to Portreath. The small town of Gwithian, and Gwithian Beach, are about two miles north of Hale. Further on is Hells Mouth and the North Cliffs.
