The most commonly surfed spot on this stretch of beach is 'Sandy Acres' (formerly 'the Site') named after the caravan site and the dunes behind.
Being more sheltered from the swell than Gwithian and Godrevy plus facing a little more north makes 'Sandy Acres' a good choice when there's a big north coast swell and the wind is due south
On a good day you'll get really long walling lefts and rights but you'll be doing a good deal of paddling too.
Tends to be better towards high tide.

Parking
There is a car park in the caravan/campsite behind. There usually isn't a problem parking here but I have heard of people being turned away at the gate in summer.
