Sandy Mouth Beach
Sandy Mouth Beach is a stretch of coastline on the north Cornish shore with pebbles and sand exposed at low tide. The high cliffs above are made of rock formations millions of years old and rise sharply from the beach below.
The area has been part of local coastal life for centuries with ties to fishing and maritime activities. The rocks themselves document hundreds of millions of years of geological history and show how natural processes have shaped the landscape.
Tides play an important role in your visit since low tide reveals more of the beach and creates tide pools to explore. Dress for changing weather and come prepared, as the coast is exposed and wind can pick up quickly.
At low tide, shallow pools form filled with sea anemones, crabs, and starfish that visitors can observe up close. A striking feature is a small waterfall that flows over the cliffs directly into the ocean.
