All about Polzeath
With the upmarket charms of Rock drawing attention just a couple of miles away, this seaside village in North Cornwall has remained a lesser-known beach haven, popular with families. The mellow Atlantic waves can be tackled by novice surfers, and at low tide there’s an immense stretch of sand to be enjoyed — you’re even allowed to park your car on the beach here. The natural beauty and abundant wildlife of the neighbouring Camel Estuary are an additional bonus. In Polzeath, you’re likely to spot dolphins off the coast, a puffin perched on a rock, or an otter in the river. With the South West Coast Path passing straight through the village, you’re only a short walk from the gorgeous Daymer Bay to the south, or the panoramic views of Pentire Head to the north. Not that you have to put in the steps to get the most of the area: The village has a handful of lovely pubs, cafes, and restaurants to keep you happy.
What are the top things to do in Polzeath?
The Rumps
To the north of Pentire Point, across a narrow isthmus, is this whale-tail-shaped promontory. Its curiously lumpy headland was once an Iron Age fort, a series of ditches, ramparts, and hut circles uncovered 50 years ago. It’s a wondrous spot for looking out across the Atlantic to the Mouls, an offshore rock that’s a breeding spot for gannets and kittiwakes.
New Polzeath beach
To the north of the main village is the more recently developed part of the resort, and its smaller beach (easily accessed by footpath) is the place to go if you want a break from all the surfers, and to have a peaceful swim. There’s a waterfront café open in summer and plenty of rockpools to explore.
St Enodoc Church
Halfway between Polzeath and Rock nestled curiously among the dunes overlooking Daymer Bay is this tiny 12th-century chapel. Its ancient stone walls and wonky spire would be atmospheric enough by themselves, but the graveyard contains another secret: the tombstone of poet laureate Sir John Betjeman, who is buried here.
