From the Wikipedia article
Harlyn (Cornish: Arlynn, meaning facing a pool) is a small village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated inland from Harlyn Bay (Cornish: Porth Arlynn) three miles from Padstow and about one mile from St. Merryn. Harlyn Bay and the surrounding farm has been owned by the Hellyar family since 1800. It originally comprised the Farm, Beach, Farmhouse (now The Pig at Harlyn) and the Fish Cellars. The Beach is a family and surfing beach and is suitable for novice surfers. Many of the houses in Harlyn are holiday lets. East of Harlyn Bay is the village and beach of Trevone and west of Harlyn are Cataclews Point (Cornish: Karrek Loos, meaning grey rock), Mother Ivey's Bay and Trevose Head. Further west, the beaches at Constantine Bay, Porthcothan and Treyarnon are linked by the South West Coast Path. Harlyn lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The farm and the many archeological sites are maintained by Harlyn Estates LLP. The village is comprised to a large extent of second homes, and is quiet for much of the year.
