Glorious hiking and birdwatching

Take one of the many hiking routes around the hills which rise high above the coast around Polzeath, and look out for corn buntings and puffins, and other rare birds. Polzeath’s main beach is in a protected cove surrounded by green cliffs and rock pools to explore. Coastal paths take you across headlands with incredible sea views to one side and stunning hilly landscapes to the other. Break up your walk with a stop at the Oystercatcher Bar where you can enjoy alfresco dining or simply a pint or a glass of wine and soak in the vistas!

Cornwall is synonymous with surfing – Polzeath doubly so. Regular, reliable surfing all year round makes this the top destination in the UK for surfers from beginners to advanced. The gentle slope of the beach creates waves which are perfect for those who are finding their surfing feet. Beginners will appreciate the excellent surf schools – try Surf’s up, or George’s, who will supply you with all you need to know to start to catch those waves. Wave riders can be reassured of lifeguard coverage during the summer, making this a safe and fun place to build up your confidence.
