Godrevy Beach forms the northern end of the three-mile stretch of sand starting from Hayle’s Gwithian Towans. It is known for its wide sandy expanse backed by grassy dunes, and its dramatic rocky outcrops which become exposed at lower tides. The iconic Godrevy Lighthouse lies just offshore on a small island, adding striking views and a notable local landmark.
This beach is popular with surfers due to powerful Atlantic swells, but also attracts families, nature enthusiasts and walkers exploring the South West Coast Path that skirts the area. Rock pools and cliffs at the eastern end offer opportunities for wildlife spotting—seals are frequently seen around the nearby Mutton Cove.
The site is managed by the National Trust and basic facilities are provided, including a seasonal café and toilets. Please check for up-to-date lifeguard and dog rules when planning a visit.
