Mexico Towans Beach
Mexico Towans is near the middle of the long Hayle Towans beach that looks over St Ives Bay. A sandy beach with high dunes and good for swimming and surfing/bodyboarding.
This is a great family beach that has room for everyone even on the hottest and busiest summer days.
Lifeguards in summer.
Access is down the dunes themselves and so some may find the friendlier access at Black Cliff or Hayle Towans a better choice.
Dog Friendly Beach?
Mexico Towans Beach is dog friendly and allows dogs all year.
