Crackington Haven

Crackington haven beach is great spot for families, with a sandy beach and rock pools revealed as the tide recedes. The sea is good for a spot of body boarding and surfing too.

There are two cafes and the Coombe Barton Inn, all of which serve wonderful food and welcome dogs.

You can park at the main car park. A short walk up the hill is the Burden Trust car park, which is just £3 a day, and all the money goes to local good causes.

Dogs are welcome on the beach all year, though between 15th May and 30 September they are only allowed before 10am and after 6pm.

Sitting on the bridge wall with a drink from the Coombe Barton and watching the sun set is popular.

You can can also pick up the coast path in both directions, which offers some spectacular coastal views.
