There’s a footbridge across the Gannel that can be used to reach the Newquay side of the estuary, however at high tide (approximately 3 hours either side of low water) this disappears. During the season (May to September), a ferry boat operates from the Boathouse across the estuary and provides access between Crantock Beach and East Pentire headland. By car it’s just a 10 minute drive from Crantock village to Newquay town centre.
