Crooklets beach - circular walks

Crooklets beach

The beach at Crooklets, Cornwall

Crooklets is a sandy beach with pebbles near the top and areas of rocks either side. There is a beach at all states of the tide. As the tide goes out, Crooklets merges with Summerleaze beach. There are some ridges of rock between Summerleaze beach and Crooklets interspersed with areas of sand.

On a really low tide once the sea recedes beyond Wrangle Point, Crooklets merges with the Mear Cliff beaches to the north and eventually Northcott Mouth beyond these.
