Description

Death Bay - Cornwall Death Bay features powerful, hollow waves breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom, making it a unique surf spot. Accessible only at high tide, it requires a short walk from Polzeath or a 20-minute paddle. The beach is known for its challenging conditions, including rips and undertow, and is primarily suited for bodyboarders. This spot is best surfed during summer when swells transform into intense waves, creating barrels for the adventurous. The atmosphere can be daunting, as the pebbled beach can damage equipment and injuries are common. While the area remains empty during the week, weekends may see a few more surfers. For those seeking a thrill, Death Bay offers a rare opportunity to ride powerful waves, but caution is advised due to its dangerous conditions.
