Polurrian Beach is located just south of Poldhu Cove and just north of Mullion Cove, you can get the best view of this beach from the headland inbetween Mullion Cove. The beach at low tide is a vast golden sandy beach with high cliffs either side providing shelter away from the breeze but the beach is west facing meaning you will get the Atlantic winds coming at you and the surf here can get quite good depending on what the swell and weather is doing. During the summer months there is a lifeguard service – but only at weekends. So if you do fancy a dip take care or make sure it is on a weekend during the summer holidays.
