Tregirls

Tregirls is a farmstead in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately half-a-mile (1km) north of Padstow[1]. The settlement consists of a farm and converted cottages which are let as holiday accommodation[2].

Tregirls beach (which takes its name from the settlement) is 500 metres north at grid reference SW 911 769. The north-facing beach is in the River Camel estuary and is backed by dunes. The South West Coast Path runs behind the beach[3].

At low water, Tregirls beach extends half-a-mile into the estuary and at its northeast point forms the Doom Bar, a spit of sand across the river mouth[4].
