Crantock Beach

Pick up supplies from the local village shop and make the most of the surrounding sand dunes with a picnic in the sunshine, or even better, enjoy a BBQ at sunset. Or, if you prefer sit down dining, a short wander into the heart of the village is where you’ll find two traditional pubs serving homemade food all year round. During the summer months, Crantock plays host to a number of pop-up food vans including an airstream serving burgers and a delicious Cornish ice cream kiosk. There’s even a converted army truck parked on the sands that provides a tasty lunch or a warming coffee on blustery days.

The National Trust car park offers the easiest access route onto the beach and members can park here for free. If this car park is full, there’s an overflow car park adjacent to this where you can leave your car all day. Please note, during the peak season, the small lane leading down to the beach can become congested with traffic, sometimes it’s quicker and easier to park at Crantock Village Hall. If the beach is busy, please follow the directional signs.
