Wide sandy beach backed by dunes, great for families

Holywell Bay is a coastal village in north Cornwall, 3 miles south-west of Newquay, named after a holy well inside a sea cave at the north end of the beach. The wide sandy beach is backed by dunes and managed by the National Trust, with rock pools and a tidal gully exposed at low tide.
