This dune system lies on the left bank (western) side of the Camel Estuary north of Padstow.
The flood and coastal erosion benefits afforded by the dunes is low due to the lack of defended infrastructure but the environmental value of them is high.
Hawkers Cove Sand Dunes need to be considered within any wider Camel Estuary studies and assessments. Seaward dune growth could be encouraged given sufficient sediment supply.
