Geographically, beaches in Cornwall are divided into the North Coast beaches and South Coast beaches. Beaches in the North Coast of Corwall are very popular among surfers who come to enjoy waves produced by Atlantic swell and wind. Generally, northern beaches are covered with golden sands and are backed by high windswept cliffs or sand dunes.
In contrast, beaches in the Southern Coast of Cornwall are more sheltered with coves and backed by magical coastal landscapes. The thing that bands northern and southern beaches together is that we love them all! Whatever and whenever beaches in Cornwall are some of the best in the world.
