Toilets and services but no parking facilities.
At low tide from Towan to Lusty Glaze it is one long open beach. The waves tend to increase in size as you move away from Towan so the Headland gives less protection.
Summary:
All excellent beach with the finest quality sand, lifeguards during the summer months, and are within easy walking distance of the town. Access to the beach is down a steep hill via a narrow road alongside the Great Western Hotel.
