Polzeath on Cornwall's rugged northern coastline is famous for its magnificent beach.

Vast Atlantic rollers roll across the mouth of the Camel Estuary, creating a surfer's paradise, whilst the large expanses of fine sand, makes Polzeath the ideal family beach.

As a bonus, there is the breathtaking scenery provided by the cliffs that run from Pentire to Port Quinn, Port Isaac and beyond to Clovelly in North Devon - wonderful, and in some stretches, challenging, walking country, full of wildlife and stunning vistas for you to enjoy.

For the more energetic The National Trust land at Pentire is an extensive carpet of wild flowers, at its best in the spring. Visitors can explore and enjoy the rich network of footpaths with the most spectacular scenery.

To the west, the Camel Estuary, has a softer landscape, with, long stretches of sandy beaches and a gentle shoreline that stretches into the distance The Camel Estuary, is a major attraction of the North Cornish coast. The tidal waters stretch from the mouth of the estuary some five miles south towards Wadebridge and up to a mile wide between Rock and Padstow -providing a calm, sheltered expanse of water protected from the Atlantic ocean by Stepper Point, Pentire point and the sand bar at the mouth of the estuary, creating ideal conditions for all varieties of water sports.

Padstow on the western shoreline of the camel estuary is an attractive hamlet neatly tucked away into a narrow gully, sheltered from the prevailing South - West winds. Buildings crowd together around the harbour, forming a jumble of houses, quays, slipways, cafes, restaurants and gift shops. Padstow is home to the world famous Rick Stein's seafood restaurant, and the National Lobster Hatchery.

Visitors can hire bicycles from Padstow and cycle along the level Camel Trail cycle route to Wadebridge (an 11 mile round trip - the more adventurous can chose to continue on past towards Bodmin). The journey takes you along the shoreline of the estuary, providing you with a wealth of opportunities to stop and watch the local wildlife (badgers, rabbits, herons, cattle egrets, swans and wading birds of all types). The trip is an easy introduction to the pleasures of cycling, with many seats along the route to stop and admire the view. Pleasure, fishing and bird watching trips are available from nearby Rock and Padstow.

Rock is a small but very popular little hamlet with long stretches of find sandy beaches washed by the tidal waters of the Camel estuary. Rock is one of the major watersports centres in Cornwall - sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, canoeing and rowing are all activities which can be carried on in the relatively calm and safe waters of the estuary. During daylight hours, the Black Tor ferry runs a regular service from Rock across the estuary to Padstow, with a Water Taxi available for late night "revellers".

Daymer Bay and Trebetherick have a huge appeal set in the heart of Betjeman country, with wide open spaces where you can be at one with nature. St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, within walking distance of the beach at Daymer, provides the final resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay is a windsurfers paradise - for the waves rolling up the estuary and for the calmer waters off Rock - yet there is enormous appeal too for small children with buckets and spades. The beach has a large car park with facilities, (café, shop and toilets). There is golf to be enjoyed at nearby St. Enodoc and Roserrow.
