Despite producing smaller, less powerful waves, Polzeath is great all around for food, surf schools and there is many places to rent a board for a day. Although usually quite busy, Polzeaths waves are very good for beginners and anyone up for some fun nuggets.

4. Sennen Beach

One of the consequences of being the most westerly beach in Cornwall is how exposed Sennen is. The conditions and wave size can be very different at both ends of the beach sometimes. Never the less, Sennen usually creates some standard waves which can be fun for all level surfers.

5. Praa Sands Beach
