Constantine
Bay is only a 400m stroll either through the garden gate
and down the footpath or along the beach road. St Merryn Parish
boasts "Seven Bays for Seven Days" but
it takes much longer than a week to discover all the glorious
beaches in the vicinity, from tiny
rocky coves to the gloriuos sandy stretches of the Camel estuary.
Dogs
are allowed on Constantine, Harlyn and Treyarnon beaches, but
not on Trevone, which is an ideal bay for families with small
children. Life guards patrol the beaches from May to September.
Just
up the road you will find Constantine Bay Stores which stocks
groceries and newspapers. It is next to Constantine
Bay Surf Shop.

Merryn village (2.5 miles) has two small supermarkets, a pasty
