In 2009, the Crackington Haven beach was recommended by the Marine Conservation Society in its Good Beach Guide. At high tide, the beach is a mass of quartz-veined pebbles and large boulders but at low tide, it reveals an expanse of sand and many rock pools. With its two beachside cafes and pub, selling everything you need to enjoy a day at the seaside and fantastic locally-sourced food, it is possible to spend your whole holiday without ever having to leave.
