Even in high season you're likely to have this gorgeous beach practically to yourself. Set in a deep cove between grassy headlands, Porth Joke (known locally as Polly Joke) has beige sands, crystal-clear waters and great conditions for surfing without the crowds. Holiday cottages are available for rent in nearby Crantock Beach and Holywell Bay, and Newquay is only five miles away. Porth Joke itself has few beach facilities and is only accessible on foot, but this is the price of real peace and quiet on this beautiful stretch of coastline.

A beautiful undeveloped north west facing bay between Crantock and Holywell Bay. It’s never that packed and also dog friendly throughout the year which is a rarity in Cornwall! Be aware there's a bit of a walk - about 15-20 mins to get there along a track and there are no facilities.

If it's busy everywhere,this beach is slightly off the beaten track,has excellent parking and is well worth a visit. you need money for the parking meter! it's a bit of a walk down to the beach,but it's a very,very pretty walk. follow the signs. can be confusing,so if anyone coming back up from the beach,just ask them to point in the right direction. no facilities or cafes. Dog friendly

A quiet beach, with no facilities, car park about 15 minute walk to beach, excellent for rock pools and caves to explore
