Great Western

Very ordinary when small.

Good slab when larger.

Great when hollow.

Can get busy as full of beginners in summer and Towan and here are the only sheltered areas for miles when big and stormy.

Atmosphere:
Busy town centre beach break often packed with beginners or surf schools when smaller.

Additional Info:
Ordinary wave becoming a slab when larger and can get hollow when overhead.

Can provide shome shelter from storms.

Beware Rocks in the water at the South End between Towan Beach and Great Western centrered around the island (the house on the island). Otherwise to the North it's a sand bottom all the way to the beach.

Southerly end near Towan can close out.

Access from Towan Beach at low water or down a path at the side of the Great Western Hotel near the train station. Beware the tide coming in at the South End of Great Western as there are 2 coves between GW and Towan with no cliff access so it's possible for the unwary to get trapped by the incoming tide.
