Harlyn and Constantine Bay offers some of the best of Cornwall’s surfing beaches. A choice of surf schools, surf gear shops and great pubs, restaurants, campsites and a youth hostel are all in the area. Constantine Bay, backed by sand dunes and framed by a rocky reef on its south side, this Cornwall surfing beach takes two different shapes at low and high tides. At low tide it connects with its sister beach, Booby's Bay, creating a long sandy bay (over half a mile of sand) whereas at high tide it's a shelving beach. Access to Booby's to the north is from Constantine at low tide, or via a path near the golf course. You can expect some serious rips at Constantine Bay. It's lifeguarded through peak season, so be aware of the flag warnings. If it's blown out by the prevailing south westerly winds, head for more sheltered Harlyn Bay. Facilities are excellent on this beach, particularly for surfers. Car parking, toilets, and surf shop are all here, plus Constantine Bay is a dog friendly beach if woofers are your thing.
