If you are staying in the Newquay area of Cornwall take a trip along from Fistral beach to the Pentire headland and walk down Riverside Avenue. Next to the cafe you will find a footpath which winds down through the mediterranean vegetation to the Gannel Estuary. At low tide you can walk across the river (at high tide there is a small ferry) and on to the impressive expanse of yellow sand which is Crantock beach; voted Britain's best beach in 2014 by the Sunday Times. Every kind of beach activity happens here from surfing to kiting to volleyball to hiking but the beach is large enough to accommodate everyone, with room to spare. 
For a nice lunch wander up the hill on the southern side to the C-Bay Cafe. With amazing views over the beach and beyond they offer a wide range of meals and snacks in the daytime and evening.We enjoyed their crispy crumb coated, smoked haddock fishcakes which were light and fluffy with a good flavour. The moules mariniere were prepared in the traditional way with juicy, plump mussels in a tasty broth with white wine and fresh parsley.
A very pleasant lunchtime.
