BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Make the arrival easy.

Getting onto the beach

From the cafe, take the steps towards the Red River, cross the bridge and continue over the shingle ridge. The headland path is separate from access onto the sand. [2]

Useful facilities

Toilets
Toilets are in the headland parking field. [1]
Food and drink
Godrevy Cafe is listed near the first car park. [1]
Drinking water
The National Trust says the toilet tap water is not suitable for drinking. Bring drinking water for you and your dog. [2]

Bring drinking water and a bowl for your dog. A listed cafe does not automatically confirm that pet dogs can go inside.
