Gwithian Towans boasts some amazing flora and fauna which is nationally
recognised through the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
designation which runs from Gwithian to Mexico Towans.
The spring and summer months are filled with the calls of the
nationally declining species Skylarks, which nest in the dune
grasses and butterfly
populations are also very healthy on the Towans. On the cliffs,
a small pond can be found which is home to newts and toads.
Adders
can also be found in the dune grassland basking in the sun during
the summer months.
