Hayle sw cornwall uk's finest, this spot is good the best of many worlds .The kitebeach of cornwall Come here to learn, and advance ideal for busting new tricks.
The Bluff is popular because it has sand pools which gradually fill up as the tide comes in. When the tide is flowing out, you can get a free ride upwind on the current. (Useful if you are lazy!) . At low tide, the beach is enormous, and walking to the waters edge can sometimes take about 15 minutes from the car, but its worth it.

Tidal flow can be dangerous, WARNING. Long walk at low tide ,very nice waves out back ,good atmosphere ,let your imagination run wild on miles of golden sand .good parking ,pub with toilets and a shop on the corner.
