Crackington Haven

About

This spot has a good right and is not crowded and great to surf early in the morning but very good in the evening because then you can just go to the pub. It is just a great beach but you have to wait for the right day to surf.

Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is good here. The locals are nice if you speak to them! The bar has some nice ale. and if it is in the summer try the restaurant run by the New Zealander. It is good.

Additional Info:
Park in the pub car park if you don't want to pay for a car park ticket. Surf on the left hand side and you will get some long rights. There isn't always swell but there is most of the time! Try not to surf when it is exacly high tide because the waves can die of a bit some time but not always. Respect the locals by not dropping in! Look out for the local seal Bob! There is also a surf shop bellow the restaurant oposite the car park.
