The Strangles is a west-facing beach on the north Cornwall coast. It is a 1½ mile long, sand, shingle and rock beach between Tintagel and Bude. The name of the beach refers to the treacherous nature of the coast here with strong currents and jagged rocks. Swimming is unsafe.
There are two beaches here which join up at low tide. The smaller beach to the north is known as Little Strand and is set on the other side of the large rock /sea stack in the middle of the bay. There is a large rock arch at this end of the beach and the rock formations around here are generally of interest. Little Strand is popular with naturists.
The main beach is a long stretch of sand at low tide which, given the relatively long climb down to the beach, is never busy. The path is well maintained and despite the high cliffs it couldn't be described as hazardous.
