Crantock Beach is owned by the National Trust and is a national treasure with beautiful soft sand, dunes, rock pools, river and excellent surf being the next bay along the coast from Fistral Beach but without the crowds. Crantock offers a great base for a traditional Cornish holiday with easy access to all the sights and attractions. The Coastal Footpath is 5 minutes walk away & leads to Crantock Beach, Polly Joke Beach, Holywell Bay & Fistral Beach. Beware of stroing riptides & swim/surf between the RNLI flags.

We had a lovely time staying at Starfish cottage in Crantock, a good location and house is easy and well equipped. Nice having 3 shower's as 8 of us in family. Really comfortable beds and Ben was very helpful sorting out a small shower problem we had.
