Crantock Beach Webcam From the Bowgie Inn

Thanks to the Bowgie Inn in the village of Crantock near Newquay in Cornwall, you can have a sneaky peak at one of the best beaches in Britain. It’s enough to warm the cockles of your heart – almost.

The sheltered sands of Crantock Beach line the Cornish coastline where the River Gannel flows into the frigid waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. The chilly water doesn’t put the surfers, paddleboarders and kayakers off though. Keep watching and you could catch more live action than just the waves rolling in. If just the thought of dipping a toe in that water gives you goosebumps – put a sweater on and imagine you’re in the pub tucking into a soul warming Cornish curry. You’ll stop shivering in no time.
