Before I start, please be aware that this is a west facing beach that can get swell. So there is a chance we may have to move it, in the case of moderate to strong north or westerly winds. I'll outline a plan B towards the bottom of the page. 

2 x swims of around 1-2km depending how far each swimmer would like to cover. Mixed ability swimming group expected. 

SWIM 1 

Parking up at the National Trust car park at Booby's Bay (PL28 8SH, ///unpainted.waitress.valley). You then walk to Mother Ivey's Bay. We can take valuables in a secure dry bag...walking back along the road you drive into the car park along, popping across the road and joining the coastal path heading right.  

We'll swim a circular route, exploring the bay. Meeting on the beach ready to swim 9.30am latest. 

SWIM 2

13 minute, 4 1/2 mile drive over to Porthcothan, parking in the main car park.  

Parking at the main car park in Porthcothan (PL28 8LP), you'll walk across the back of the sand dunes and join the coastal path, walking just around the corner. There we'll swim across the bay to Long Cove and complete a circular route back to the starting point.

*We'll confirm the location and details 2-3 days prior to the event, once we've seen an accurate forecast. If you haven't received an email by then, check your spam folder. If there's still nothing...give me a call on 07773085427. Please don't call before that 2-3 day window re. the details as I won't have looked at an accurate forecast. 

ALTERNATIVE

In the instance of poor or unfavourable conditions, we'll pop across the coast and swim 2 stunning routes at the gorgeous Polstreath Beach....near Mevagissey. It's one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, with easily one of the most spectacular walks onto the beach.
