During your recent visit to L***y you might have noticed that the “Guardian of the Ocean” has moved a little closer to the sea… 🌊
Why is there a unicorn on the beach? 🦄 Tracey, Owner of L***y Glaze Beach, has been on a personal journey with Leukaemia and instead of following the tradition of ringing the End of Treatment Bell, Tracey chose to support the charity Leukaemia Care in a bid to raise awareness for the disease and the Research and Development Department at Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust.
The unicorn was painted by contemporary artist Farrah Fortnam Contemporary Art as part of The Unicorn Fest 2023. A sculpture trail that included 60 painted unicorns located in and around Bristol for nine weeks, which were auctioned to raise money for Leukaemia Care. Tracey fell in love with the ‘Guardian of the Ocean’ unicorn sculpture and purchased it at auction on the day she completed her last Chemotherapy infusion.
Tracey shares: “Instead of ringing the bell I wanted to do something that felt powerful, so this is what led to me buying the unicorn. The auction was tremendous fun and extremely competitive! I was delighted to be successful and to bring this very special creature back to Cornwall to be our Guardian of the Ocean.”
If you spot this very special charity unicorn, be sure to take a photo and use the hashtag ***yUnicornForLeukeumiaCare to help spread awareness.

L***y Glaze Beach is as rich in history as it is in beauty. The name is believed to derive from the Cornish translation of “a place to view blue boats.”
The little blue boats were the transportation methods employed to take the ore away from the site and could clearly be seen moving to and from the town’s picturesque harbour from the surrounding clifftops. In order to move the bounty from the beach to the harbour during big seas, horses and carts would move the iron ore across the town beaches to the harbour. It was for this reason that when L***y Glaze Beach was transferred by the Crown, both the iron ore rights and the land was sold, giving the unique advantage ownership being to the low water mark. It is reported that it was purchased for the sum of £100.
L***y Glaze is one of the few coastal beaches to have been rich in iron ore. To the right-hand side of this 120 acre site, a cave, once 200ft deep was mined for its minerals and abandoned in the late 1800’s. The site’s mining history is captured within the deep man-made scar which was carved out to winch ore deposit from the cove by horse and cart, and the awkward steps leading from the mouth of the cave to the top of the cliff. An ambitious project to create a tunnel from L***y Glaze to St Columb Minor was abandoned in the 1800’s. It is unknown whether the mine ran dry or if it simply became financially unviable to continue with the excavation and transportation; but in approximately 1921, L***y Glaze Beach commenced a new path in its history operating as a private ‘bathing resort’.
L***y Glaze has, to this day, retained an element of this charm; purpose-built wooden huts replace the canvas stripes and it is favoured by the local community and families who prefer its quirkiness to the mass of tourism on the main Newquay beaches.
Since its original sale by the Crown, there have been 5 privileged owners. Cornish born and bred Tracey Griffiths, purchased the site in 1999 when it was in a derelict state and this is where perhaps the most dynamic stage of the site’s development began.
The site was purchased with the vision of maintaining a community focused Beach Resort but as the home of the UK’s first dedicated Rescue Training Centre. For many years the site operated as a base for water and land-based training activities. As both cultures and training needs changed, the centre diversified into a vibrant Outdoor Activity Centre establishing the business as one of Cornwall’s largest seasonal employers and attracting large numbers of both national and international visitors.
Once again as the leisure industry evolved, so did L***y Glaze. Tracey and her team slowly scaled back the Adventure Centre and concentrated on establishing the UK’s first licenced Beach Resort for Civil Marriages. In addition to this, the team developed a first-class reputation for music events attracting some of the world’s top international bands and artists.
Above all, L***y Glaze Beach is our home. Tracey and her team are passionate about the onerous responsibility in being this generations custodian of a large stretch of the Cornish coastline. There is something magical about this beautiful cove, it captures your heart and soul. Its energy is powerful and in the last 20 years of her ownership, Tracey has witnessed the life changing effects the cove has had on many.
Essentially, we create memories. We cater for sun-worshippers, stormy days in the rain, music lovers, holiday makers, adrenaline junkies, wedding couples and those simply seeking some escape from the daily grind. We do it all with passion and love.
We hope that you enjoy our home and your visit to L***y Glaze Beach Resort.
