Sandymouth in North Cornwall

Sandymouth can be reached with ease via car and is only a short drive from Kilkhampton or Bude. At low tide this beach is stunning. It becomes a long open expanse of golden sand that stretches has far as the eye can see, interspersed with long finger like rock formations that have been worn away by the sea.

Sandymouth is a surfers paradise but also caters for the beachcombers and rock pool enthusiasts too. The rock formations, stacks and cliff falls along this stretch of coast make it a fabulous place to explore and learn.

There are breathtaking walks in either direction out of Sandymouth. The northern path takes you along towards Duckpool and the Earth Satellite tracking station near Stanbury Mouth. The southern path takes you along the weathered cliff top above Sandymouth towards Northcott Mouth and affords the walker views of the headland and coastline all the way down to Dizzard and High Cliff.

The seabirds love this stretch of the coast has the many rock protrusions afford them safe perches to preen and fish from.

SANDYMOUTH as the name suggests is a very sandy and generally  well sheltered beach at the very North of the North Cornwall coastline. Sandy Mouth is an excellent beach with many appealing aspects. Sandymouth is a recipient of the "Tidy Britain" Group Award. The beach offers many activities with clean sand, rocks to climb and rock pools for exploring. The cliffs in this area are a little unstable but do provide a great habitat that supports a variety of wildflowers. The area around Sandymouth is classed as Heritage Coast, and walking here is well worth the effort but do keep an eye on the tide has some stretches of this coast can be cut off by the incoming tide quite quickly and the cliffs offer very little escape.

There is a seasonal Lifeguard present and there are public amenities including a car park, toilets and a Cafe and shop.
