You’ll find space, light and imaginative attention to detail everywhere, with painted timber-clad walls, vaulted ceilings, inspired artworks and hand-crafted detailing.

In the open air

These beach shacks are part of the Three Mile Beach experience at Gwithian Towans. Each of these beach shacks has been uniquely styled with the same standard of luxury accommodation, and that includes outside. Your outdoor space has been brilliantly landscaped to reflect the local environment, and designed to make indoors feel like outdoors, and outdoors feel like indoors. You have 600 square feet of stylish decking, complete with everything you need for a surf lifestyle. Please note, dogs will need to be kept on leads when outdoors, as the garden space is not fenced. The centrepiece is your sunken cedar hot tub, which will be filled, hot and inviting, when you arrive. Not to mention the barrel sauna, large gas-fired barbeque grill, outdoor dining table and huge adjustable sun-sail to shelter you when you need it.

Find out more about what's on offer here.

Also be sure to check out the Three Mile Beach street food on site, selling a range of food and drink from cool food trucks. This can be ordered and delivered straight to your door. Please note, the restaurant is open year round but only offers delivery in the winter. The outdoor seating area and bar is also only open from Easter until the end of October.

Location

Gwithian

The beaches of Godrevy and Gwithian Towans are tucked away treasures on the North coast of Cornwall, backed by picturesque sand dunes that run alongside them. These unspoilt, golden beaches stretch along the easterly side of St Ives Bay, and as west facing beaches they bask in the summer sun all day long. With several surf schools lining the beach, Gwithian is a surfing hotspot and is an area perfect for those wanting to try surfing, polish up their skill, or just watch!

The gwithian guide

Surfers

Life on the water

Life in Gwithian revolves around the beach. Whether you’re here to surf, swim, paddleboard or simply relax on the sand, the vast shoreline offers plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to its consistent Atlantic swell, Gwithian is one of Cornwall’s best-loved surfing beaches, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to experienced surfers.

If you’d rather stay on dry land, there’s just as much to enjoy. Wander through the rolling Towans, build sandcastles with the family, explore the shoreline at low tide or simply settle down with a picnic and watch the waves roll in. Stay until evening and you’ll be rewarded with one of Cornwall’s most spectacular sunsets, with Godrevy Lighthouse silhouetted against the horizon.

Safe, sheltered sand pools

One of the joys of Gwithian is watching the beach transform with the tide. As the sea retreats, vast stretches of golden sand are revealed, along with shallow pools that are perfect for little ones to paddle, splash and search for tiny crabs and shells. Families can easily spend hours exploring the shoreline, while surfers and walkers enjoy the ever-changing landscape. Even in the height of summer, the beach is so expansive that there’s always plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Cornish walking holidays Gwithian South West Coast Path

Miles of coastal footpath

Keep your eyes on the sea as you explore the coast, as grey seals are regular visitors around Godrevy Head and dolphins are occasionally spotted playing offshore. With breathtaking views in every direction, every walk offers something a little different, whatever the season.

Beaches
Gwithian beach dunes, Cornwall

Gwithian

Gwithian Beach is one of Cornwall’s finest stretches of golden sand, backed by The Towans with a gentle golden slope leading down to clear waters, Gwithian’s lifeguarded shores are perfect for beach life. When the wind blows, watch surfers take on the Atlantic waves and kite surfers take to the air, with seasonal lifeguards looking on. If you want to test the waves yourself, you’ll find board hire and lessons, as well as kayaking, paddleboarding and coasteering, at Global Boarders, just behind the dunes. On a calm day, the waters are dotted with swimmers, families playing beach games and kids finding their feet with bodyboards.

Godrevy lighthouse, Gwithian beach, Cornwall

Godrevy

With its rocky outcrops, great surf and sheltered shores perfect for sunbathers, Godrevy is the beach for those looking to find their own secluded spot of sand. Godrevy is under the watchful eye of seasonal lifeguards, so children can play happily in the sea, or explore the many rockpools and sandpools. Godrevy beach and the grassy cliff above looks out towards Godrevy Lighthouse, the inspiration behind Virginia Woolfe’s To The Lighthouse. It’s one of our favourite spots to watch the sun set, turning the sky a deep red as the sun slips down behind the lighthouse. The Godrevy Beach Cafe in the National Trust carpark is great.

Gwithian Beach and dunes, St Ives Bay, Cornwall

Hayle’s beaches

Gwithian is flanked to the east by a number of beaches that make up the three miles of sand that stretches across St Ives Bay to Hayle Estuary. Upton Towans, Mexico Towans and Hayle Beach are all dog friendly all year round, and they all interconnect as the tide goes out. The grassy dunes behind them are a perfect spot for a barbecue and there are caves to discover at low tide, just a stone’s throw from our Gwithian Towans chalets. From wartime structures to pillars used to facilitate the extraction of tin from the sand over a hundred years ago, there’s plenty to see for those who don’t fancy lounging in the sun all day.

Food & drink
Sunset Surf cafe at Gwithian beach, Cornwall

Cool cafes

Right on Gwithian’s sand, the quirky Hungry Horsebox Co is housed in a converted horsebox. They do a delicious dhal and great coffee. Set just back from the beach, Sunset Surf Cafe overlooks the beautiful beach and is a great spot for some hearty homemade food and a crisp glass of local cider. It’s also home to the surf school Global Boarders. With its showstopping views, The Jam Pot is an idyllic location for a tea or coffee stop, a mouthwatering bacon sandwich or a generous helping of cake. At the other end of the beach, the kid friendly, dog friendly and surfer friendly Godrevy Beach Cafe serves everything you’d want after a blustery beach walk or surf, from delicious breakfasts to indulgent hot chocolates. Grab a table upstairs for a brilliant view of Godrevy lighthouse.

Pubs and restaurants

A couple of miles up the road, Trevaskis Farm Restaurant is a great place for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Their seasonal lunch and supper menus include dishes such as crusted sea bream and lobster thermidor, and their Sunday roasts are very popular. In the centre of Gwithian, the Red River Inn is open every day for breakfast, lunch and evening meals, with plenty of local produce and Cornish ales on offer. It holds a popular annual beer festival at Easter. Behind the dunes at the far end of Gwithian beach, the Rookpool is full of sandy footed surfers and  serves small bites and sharing plates, hearty main meals, such as sea platters and seafood chowders, burgers and ribs.

Eating local in Gwithian and Hayle

With two brilliant farm shops within a couple of miles of the village and delis, ice cream parlours and pasty shops in neighbouring Hayle, it’s easy to get your hands on local produce in Gwithian, from fresh fish and meat to veg and local cheeses.

Find out more about buying local with our handy Local Food Guide to Gwithian.

Things to do
Surfing at Gwithian Beach, Cornwall

Take to the water

Gwithian is one of the most popular surfing spots on the north coast, and for good reason — it regularly welcomes medium sized clean surf to its shores, so it’s brilliant for all abilities. There are numerous surf schools around Gwithian and Godrevy, including Global Boarders, which is located at the Sunset Surf cafe near the Gwithian Towans carpark. They cater to all ages and abilities, and they also offer coasteering, kayaking and paddleboard hire and lessons, too.

Red Panda At Paradise Park, St Ives Bay, Cornwall

Paradise Park

With over a hundred species of birds, this brilliant wildlife park in Hayle is home to eagles, parrots and flamingoes, as well as Red Pandas, otters, and a petting zoo. Paradise Park caters for all ages too, with penguin feeding, a jungle train, free flying shows and the chance to hold a barn owl, make sure you check out their website to find out when these events are on. If the kids still aren’t tired out, make sure you take them to the Jungle Barn, Paradise Park’s whopping soft play area. A thoroughly entertaining way to spend a day!

Seals Mutton Cove Gwithian, Godrevy

Seal spotting

All year round, if you head across Godrevy Point to Mutton Cove and peer carefully over the cliff edge, you should be able to spot the herd of seals taking shelter on the beach down below. Watch them head out to sea and swim, their heads bobbing in the waves like little black buoys, or see fluffy grey pups lollop across the sand. If you’re lucky enough, you may be able to spot them in the water off Godrevy and Gwithian beaches, or take a boat trip with St Ives Boat Company and spot them lounging on the lighthouse island.
