| Holywell Bay Beach consists of a three-quarter mile stretch of golden
sand, sheltered by lovely headlands, which provide enjoyable walks, they are
particularly attractive in early summer when covered with a mass of wild
flowers. |

The Beach is backed by a large expanse of sand
dunes. The sea is good for surfing and bathing and is patrolled by lifeguards
during the summer season. Children love the rock pools where they can paddle
and study small types of marine life. Fishing from the beach is entertaining
for the sportsman, and bass, turbot, pollock and mackerel can be caught.

|
| The sands are crossed by a small stream which is very
popular with young children for a variety of activities from playing with boats
and building dams to sailing inflatable dinghies. |

|
| The neighbouring beach of Porth Joke is within walking
distance, and is worth a visit, as is also Perranporth beach. Both being
reached by walking around the headlands. For a short walk, one can travel
across the beach to see the Holy Well - a natural spring in one of the caves,
reputed in olden times to have medicinal powers. |
