Crantock Beach and The Gannel
The Gannel estuary separates Crantock from Pentire Point East and Newquay Town. Crantock Beach is a long, sandy beach backed by sand dunes. It is difficult to say where Crantock Beach ends and the Gannel begins. It is not only a wildlife haven but a foraging paradise! Remember the Gannel is a tidal estuary with strong, dangerous currents.
