Black Cliff Beach Info | Cornwall Coast

Black Cliff Beach is a sandy beach stretching between Hayle Towans and Mexico Towans. Hayle Beach is a large beach backed by dunes, and Black Cliff Beach gives some protection from the wind by being sheltered by cliffs. The beach gets its name from the dark cliffs that line the back of the beach.

Dog access is very complicated on Hayle Beach as it appears to be a large beach but has some seasonal restrictions in places. As far as Black Cliff Beach is concerned, you are on the boundary where dog restrictions are in place towards the estuary but not towards Godrevy Point.

When the tide is out, you often get large areas of shallow water near the cliffs, providing great, safe play for small children.

Facilities at the beach include a small beach cafe and toilets at the top of the steps, and if the steps are too much, then Hayle Towans Beach has a sloped beach access and can be used to get onto this beach.
