Widemouth Bay
A long, open surf beach a few miles south of Bude, with reefs at either end, sandbanks in between and a ramp straight onto the sand.

A small surf village wrapped around a sandy beach, with the surf shop, cafés and a beach bar all a few steps from the water.
Constantine Bay
A wide, dune-backed bay three miles west of Padstow, fully open to the Atlantic — beautiful, powerful and not a default beginner beach.
Crantock Beach
A long National Trust beach across the Gannel estuary from Newquay — dunes, a sandy bay and a river channel that demands respect.

Great Western Beach
A sandy town beach below Newquay's station side, with established surf schools and a steep walk back up.
Harlyn Bay
A broad sandy bay west of Padstow that is often calmer than its neighbours — a favourite for families and first lessons.

Holywell Bay
A big sandy bay reached through the dunes, with the twin Gull Rocks offshore and a surf school on the sand.
Porthmeor Beach
St Ives' Atlantic-side beach — a compact surf break below Tate St Ives, with a surf school on the sand and the town on foot.
Sennen Cove Beach
A broad Atlantic beach in Whitesand Bay, a mile from Land's End — reliable surf, turquoise water and a little harbour village.

Bude's town beach — a wide sandy bay at the mouth of the river and canal, with surf schools, the famous sea pool and the town a short walk away.
Towan Beach
Newquay's central beach beside the harbour and The Island's suspension bridge — the easiest surf beach to reach on foot from town.
Trevaunance Cove
St Agnes' surf cove — a compact beach below a steep village valley, with a surf school, pubs and mining-heritage cliffs.
