Gwithian Location

50.2214, -5.3863

50.22135, -5.38634 View on OpenStreetMap →

Gwithian sits at 50.2214°N, 5.3863°W, on the coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
