Godrevy Beach

Location:
West Cornwall.
Description:
Godrevy Beach is a sandy beach stretching from Gwithian Towans along the Godrevy coastline up to Godrevy Point. On Godrevy Beach there are many rocky sections but also many good sandy patches. The coastline here is run by the National Trust. There are excellent views to Godrevy Island and across St Ives Bay on a clear day and there is also good walking around Godrevy Point.
