Destinations like Cornwall boast plenty of spectacular beaches, such as Treyarnon Bay Beach. Visitors say the 'blue lagoon' beach is 'breathtaking.' One fan went so far as to say that "you don't need to go on a plane to anywhere else in the world with places like this in England."

The North Cornwall beach is approximately 11 miles from Newquay, and it is dog-friendly. According to the Cornwall Beach Guide: "Treyarnon Bay Beach is an excellent family beach with lots of sand and rock pools and can be used for surfing."

The beautiful bay is often featured in TikTok videos, including a popular post by @Hannahrebecca__. She said: "You need to visit this hidden gem in the UK." Her footage captured families leaping from rocks into the clear water, reports Cornwall Live.

Treyarnon Bay Beach is loved by TripAdvisor reviewers, who rated it as one of the best things to do in St Merryn. One visitor who enjoyed the 'stunning' views said: "What a stunning place. If food and drinks are your thing, visit Treyarnon beach. If diving into blue lagoons and rock pools is your thing, visit Treyarnon beach.

"If lounging around on beautiful sandy beaches watching the sea wash up onto the sand is your thing, visit Treyarnon beach. Rock pooling, building sand castles, swimming, relaxing, what ever you like to do - you don't need to go on a plane to anywhere else in the world with places like this in England. Breathtakingly stunning. A must visit if you're in Cornwall!!"

Another fan wrote: "Incredible bay with beautiful beach and surfers worth watching! Dog friendly enabling our Staffy to have a great time chasing his football up and down the beach. With the tide out there are some amazing "secret" rock pools with some large and deep enough to swim in!"

Meanwhile, a family shared: "We have come back time and time again to Treyarnon Bay Caravan Park for the past 30+ years, and always have a great family holiday. Very little phone signal, and so it's a great getaway from normal home life. Treyarnon Bay has great waves for bodyboarders and when the tide is out, there is lots of sand that is ideal for the kids to make sandcastles!"

Someone agreed: "Great beach for kids. Sheltered rocky areas and beautiful sand. Great for surfing, swimming and just relaxing."

Another thought: "Superb beach. Probably my fave beach along with Mawgan Porth, with Constantine a short yet beautiful coastal walk away. Great facilities, lots of rock pools to discover. A definite must to visit if you love sandy beaches and crystal blue sea and waves to surf/bodyboard in."
