Greenaway Beach

Greenaway Beach is a quiet cove located between Polzeath and Daymer Bay on the north Cornish coast, accessible only on foot from nearby car parks. That short walk keeps the beach far less visited than its neighbours, and the mix of golden sand and rocky outcrops makes for a genuinely peaceful stretch of shoreline.

The beach is particularly well-liked by families and nature lovers. Children can explore and find crabs, starfish, and other sea creatures amid the abundant marine life in the rock pools. The beautiful waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, while the sandy sections are ideal for beach activities and sunbathing. With the South West Coast Path passing close by, you get open clifftop views and options for further coastal exploration. The adjacent headlands and cliffs provide wonderful views and coastal walking opportunities.

Greenaway Beach can only be reached by foot from the closest parking lots, which are located in Daymer Bay or Polzeath. This contributes to the beach’s serene and quiet environment. There are beautiful views of the ocean and farms along the route as you make your way to the beach. For anyone seeking to get away from it all and take in the pristine Cornish coast, Greenaway Beach is the ideal location because to its natural beauty and tranquil surroundings.
