Harlyn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harlyn is a small village in Cornwall, United Kingdom situated by Harlyn Bay. It is a popular holiday resort with a caravan park and public house. Most houses in the village are let to holiday makers.
North-facing Harlyn Bay is a popular destination for surfers and has a Surf School.
Harlyn is close to the town of Padstow and approximately 1 mile from the village of St. Merryn. To the east is the village and beach of Trevone, while to the west is Cataclew headland, followed by Mother Iveys Bay - home of the local lifeboat station - and Trevose Head. The bays at Constantine Bay, Porthcothan and Treyarnon are also nearby, linked by the coastal path that runs across the beach and is covered at high tide. A short detour along the road can be used at these times to continue along the coast. There are several camp sites and hotels in the surrounding area.
Harlyn is a "low slope" beach, suitable for surfing beginners. The car parking is relatively cheap, and sometimes there is a donkey derby in the top field.
