Daymer Bay Beach
About
Daymer Bay is a tranquil strip of golden sand tucked within the mouth of the River Camel, backed by rolling dunes and the historic church of St Enodoc. The beach offers sweeping views of Brea Hill and the estuary, making it an idyllic spot for families and beginners. The calm, sheltered waters are also a haven for windsurfers and kite‑surfers, drawing enthusiasts from across the region. At low tide a submerged forest – a patch of ancient tree stumps and roots preserved in the sand – can be seen, giving visitors a unique glimpse into the area’s prehistoric past. While the beach is dog‑friendly and provides generous picnic spots, visitors should be prepared for limited on‑site amenities, including pay‑and‑display parking and modest toilet stalls.
