B&B, Camping and Self Catering Holiday Accommodation
Constantine Bay - Cornwall

Constantine Bay is a beautiful bay, changing daily and with the seasons, sometimes a gentle surfing beach, sometimes stormy with all the force of the Atlantic. Just 400 yards up the road is Constantine Bay Stores, catering for daily needs, such as newspapers and food (although there is a Tesco in nearby Padstow). Next door is the Constantine Bay Surf Store, where surfing equipment can be hired or purchased and surfing lessons can be booked. Fine dining and beauty treatments are available just up the road at Trevose Golf Club.

Just over a mile away is St. Merryn village, where you will find restaurants, cafes, Fryer Tuck's Fish and Chip shop and the Chinese takeaway. The two pubs in the village are the Farmers Arms and Rick Stein's pub, The Cornish Arms, which provide family meals. Three miles away is Padstow, where there are many good restaurants and pubs, and other attractions such as the Camel Trail, the Camel estuary, historic Prideaux Place, boat and speedboat trips, and a crazy golf course.

Sport is well catered for in the area, with Trevose Golf Club, one of the premier national courses, just up the road, and cycling on the Camel Trail starting in nearby Padstow, where bicycles can be hired. Constantine Bay itself is of course one of the best national surfing beaches, while those preferring gentle swimming can find a pool at Trevose Golf Club.

From the beach the Coastal Footpath can be taken left towards Bedruthan and Newquay, or right to Padstow. Wildlife including birds such as Peregrine Falcons, Gannets and Skylarks, and animals such as hares, foxes, badgers, seals and dolphins may be seen in the area. Buses to Newquay and Padstow can be caught from outside Constantine Bay Stores.

Constantine Bay is a good centre for touring, with Padstow just three miles away, and the National Trust properties of Lanhydrock, Trerice and Carnewas nearby. Within easy reach are Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, and also restaurants owned by celebrity chefs Paul Ainsworth and Nathan Outlaw.
