Location: North Coast - Newquay

Great Western Beach & Tolcarne from Towan Prom.


Great Western Beach is most easily approached from the west by crossing over Towan Beach. The Island marking the boundary between GWB and Towan beaches. The beach is overlooked by steep cliffs which offer it some protection from the wind, but also cast a shadow onto would be sunseekers late in the afternoon. GWB is another favourite with the visitors due to its central location.
