Constantine Bay

Constantine Bay

Constantine Bay Beach

Constantine Bay is a wide, flat sandy beach popular with walkers as well as dogs. There are limited surfing opportunities here, but it’s best for sunbathing or being in the sea.


By the car park is a shop and cafe that also has toilets. During busier times, a mobile coffee shop pops up on the beach.


You can easily walk on the coastal path to Treyarnon Bay one way or Booby’s Bay the other.


Parking is quite restrictive with probably only 10 or so spaces. Treyarnon has more spaces and sometimes a local field gets opened in the peak season.

Trevone Bay

The beach at Trevone Bay

The beach at Trevone Bay is a little smaller than some of the others, but just as great with fabulous sunsets.


It‘s a 30-minute walk on the coastal path that has stunning scenery and you‘ll see the natural sea-water swimming pool.


Trevone offers a wonderful surf shop, cafe and outside bar with plenty of options for all the family. There are two camera-operated car parks using the Just Park app. Be aware that mobile coverage is patchy, and they issue fines for non-payment.

Interesting Facts about The Seven Bays

Coastal Path

You can walk along the public coastal path and enjoy all seven bays. The path takes you past some wonderful views. You should wear suitable clothing and take water as the route around Trevose Head can be challenging in parts.

Slogan

The area is known as “7 bays for 7 days” purely because you could visit a different beach each day for an entire week!

Polventon Bay

Mother Ivey’s bay is also know as Polventon Bay. The adjacent holiday park owns the beach but it‘s open to the public.
