Notes :

Moving further west to the entrance of the Hayle Harbour Mouth a drive down to the hospitable Bluff Public House overlooking the beach provides an ideal car park and a refreshment stop for possibly one of the best wave riding spots in Europe. This spot certainly requires respect even from the experienced wave sailor when the waves build fast and powerfully over the sand bar (Best about two or three hours after low tide).

It is worth having a chat to the lifeguards on the way down to the beach or certainly from any other sailors. On an ebbing tide there is a severe down wind rip which only slows as low tide approaches. Watch out as high tide arrives as the beach at the bottom of the access path disappears and can make recovering a little on the exciting side! It works best from SW to NW and is an excellent port tack jumping spot with reasonable spacing between the waves.

Kitesurfing notes :

This can be a good location for kitesurfers when the tide has dropped 2 hours after high water as there is plenty of room on the beach. The river mouth can also offer some flat water and a good standing depth in which to practice some skills. We have used this location in NE, N, NW and W.

Directions :

Take the turning on the A30 for Hayle and drive towards the centre of town. Approx. 350 meters on your right you will see a turning sign posted towards Phillack and the Towans. Take this road up the hill and continue driving leaving the Caravan Park on your right and it leads you down to the Bluff Pub on your right. Please Park sensibly here. The Pub serves a good pint and some excellent food.
