Lundy Bay is a small sheltered cove that is located  north of New Polzeath and Pentire Glaze Haven on the North Cornish coast. At low tide Lundy Bay reveals a sandy beach with an abundance of rock pools, ideal for kids and families.

The bay is accessed from the main road via a kissing gate, which opens onto a field revealing a gently sloping footpath that wends down to the beach via a lovely wooded valley.

The path forks into two at the end of the field giving you the option of continuing down the gently sloping path or following the path to the left which takes you up and along to the cliff were a spectacular series of caves can be viewed from above the beach or for the more adventurous the caves can be explored from below when the tide is right.

The beach is accessed by a short flight of wooden stairs. Lundy Bay is a haunt of the well heeled in the summer months and due to its secluded location most holiday makers drive straight past the little car park that is opposite the kissing gate and head for the big beach at New Polzeath. If you are in New Polzeath you can take a stunning walk up over Pentire, and if you follow the coast path north towards Port Isaac you will come across Lundy Bay.
