Gwithian

Gwithian is another long, long sandy beach on the north coast. I stand at one end just across the river that ends here, still swollen and moving rapidly from the recent rains, but at the other end at low water you can probably walk on to Hayle beach. Isn't it strange that when people talk of Cornwall's holiday beaches they usually think of Newquay, Padstow and Rock when just a little further along the coast you get the long long sandy stretches of Perranporth and then Gwithian and Hayle...
