Cawsand Bay offers the ideal place to relax but is also popular for swimming, windsurfing, water skiing, a tri-athlete’s dream training area for those who are more active!  For a fishing break, why not try sea angling, - bass, wrasse, pollock or mackerel are readily caught from the rocks. Bird watchers might see buzzards circling overhead or cormorants fishing, and the really lucky ones may even glimpse a basking shark or a dolphin out in the bay.

Nearby Whitsand Bay is also popular with beachgoers, surfers, and shore-fisherman.  Just behind Whitsand Bay is one of Cornwall’s most challenging and stunning golf courses; Whitsand Bay Links Golf Course which is open to the public.
