Gwithian

Gwithian is a coastal village in west Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated three miles (5km) northeast of Hayle and four miles (6.5km) east of St Ives, Cornwall across St Ives Bay.

A short distance to the east of the village is Gwithian Towans, which is an area of coastal duneland that forms part of The Towans. Gwithian Towans cover the site of a Bronze Age farm which has been excavated although no remains are visible.

Gwithian Beach stretches three miles from the Hayle River mouth to the Red River mouth at Godrevy. The beach is popular throughout the year with surfers, windsurfers, and other beachsports enthusiasts. Gwithian beach is patrolled by RNLI lifeguards from Easter to September and surfing equipment can be purchased or hired from the nearby surf shop.
