The closest beach in that list to Tintagel is Widemouth and that is nearly 30 minutes away from Tintagel , then the closest are Treyarnon and Harlyn approximately 40 minutes away , I deliver parcels in and around Harlyn and Treyarnon and they are absolutely rammed right now

I'd buy a good push net and stick with the prawns

Fishing is good around Tintagel , but the North coast can be dangerous
