Trevose Harbour House 05

Porthkidney Sands is a north-facing beach at the mouth of the Hayle Estuary that lies just two miles from the picturesque harbour town of St Ives.

If you fancy being creative but don’t want to book anything in advance, you can visit 54 Lemons on Tregenna Hill.

Gwithian is backed by sand dunes with wild grass.
