Praa Sands

A beautiful stretch of sands backed by sand dunes, and protected by ancient granite. One of the most popular beaches of this area, not only due to its fine sand but also being granted the Blue flag award!

Renowned for its quality beach breaks it attracts a wide range of surfers and does become crowded at times.

The beach faces Southwest and picks up more swell than its more sheltered neighbours. The northern end of the beach is offered protection from westerly winds by Hoe point.

The lifeguards are on duty all year: Full time during holiday season and weekends throughout the rest of the year. Please respect the locals!
