The beaches we have featured here
are patrolled by fully trained Lifeguards, generally from 1st
June to 8th September. It's probably worth mentioning the
Beach Safety Flag system. Three different flags can be displayed
on the beach, namely
No
bathing permitted
Bathe
between these flags
Area
reserved for surfboards
So now you know how to stay safe,
where can you go?
South Coast beaches include
the famous Praa Sands (pictured left) a mile long, south west
facing stretch of firm golden sand and Marazion, overlooking St
Michael's Mount and very popular as a family beach.
Or why not
try Poldhu Cove or Gunwalloe Church Cove on the Lizard Peninsula.
Both of these face
west and are quite well sheltered. Ample car parking is available
for both.
On
the North Coast you could head for Sennen Cove
(pictured right) or Hayle, or venture a little further a field to
the UK Surfing capital in Newquay.
