Daymer Bay

[1] Daymer Bay lies west of Trebetherick village at grid reference SW 928 775.

The bay is bounded to the north by Trebetherick Point and to the south by Brea Hill.

Daymer Bay beach is backed by dunes and behind them is St Enodoc's Church where the poet John Betjeman is buried.

Much of Daymer Bay is designated as a County Geology Site by Cornwall Wildlife Trust because of the submerged forest sometimes visible at low tide when not totally or partially covered by sand.

The submerged forest is one of many in Cornwall and includes tree stumps and roots, woody material, seeds, well-preserved land-snails and bones of frog/toad and other animals, and is dated, from one sample, at between four and four and a half thousand years old.
