Constantine Bay

Historically the sand was removed by local farmers by horse and cart to spread on the land to lighten and fertilise the heavy soil.

The area was a favourite holiday location of Margaret Thatcher during her premiership and also of former Prime Minister David Cameron.

[3] Trevose Head and Constantine Bay SSSI is designated for both its biological and geological interests.

The dune system at Constantine Bay is in an unfavourable declining condition because of the invasion by species such as bramble, ivy and sea buckthorn; and by visitor pressure causing erosion.

Other coastal villages nearby include Harlyn, Porthcothan, Trevone and Treyarnon Media related to Constantine Bay at Wikimedia Commons
