The beach

Constantine

Constantine sits on the Trevose run. Swell, wind and tide for this beach and the neighbours, so you can pick a peak before you leave the car park. Today is Cloud, 12°, 3kt W, gusts 6.

More exposed than Harlyn, with faster peaks and a heavier shorebreak when the swell is up.

Mid tide is the sweet spot. High can dump; low gets a long walk and weaker banks.

Faces WNW. Best swell W-NNW. Level: intermediate. Crowd: average.

On the sand

Before you paddle out at Constantine

Parking

St Merryn Parish Council owns the car park (and the land the toilets sit on) plus common land at Constantine Bay. Charges are not published on the parish site, pay on the board. Not a Cornwall Council listed park.

Hire & lessons

Constantine Bay Surf School, Padstow PL28 8JJ, beginner to advanced on this beach. Harlyn Surf School is the next bay, not on Constantine.

Vibe

Mixed ability: the school offers beginner through advanced. Do not borrow Treyarnon’s “novice and crowded” RNLI line, that is the next cove.

Access & hazards

Met Office Constantine Bay (Beach): high risk of rips. RNLI 2026 lists include Constantine. Treyarnon RNLI notes a short walk around the point to Constantine.
