Mexico Towans forms part of a glorious three miles of sand that starts from the mouth of the Hayle estuary and reaches out to the lighthouse at Godrevy Point.

Situated between Hayle Towans and Gwithian Towans, the beach is backed by magnificent sand dunes, known as 'towans'.

Surfing, swimming and walking along the beach are popular, but avoid swimming in or near the estuary to the south, where there are dangerous currents.

Lifeguards are on duty here from 15th May to the 26th September as well as on neighbouring beaches. (2021)

Dogs are allowed all year round on the central stretch of the beach, but their are restrictions at the southern end near the estuary and towards Gwithian to the north.

Please check signage.
