At low water there is a large sandy beach, lots of rockpools for the kids to explore too. The Coast Path throughout Cornwall offers superb scenery, no more so than the stretch from Padstow to Bude and beyond to the Devon- Cornwall Border. Walk out to the Coast down Rocky Valley with its intriguing iron age carvings. An awesome spot in a winter storm so best avoided if a rough sea is running. You have been warned.
Fish cellars in the village behind.
And the quantly named Squeezebelly Alley. Beyond the village the path follows the Coast, dont forget to look back over your shoulder into the village, one of the nicest views on the coast, then on around to Carnweather Point, hence to Port Quinn . Once home to a fishing fleet, legend has it all lost at sea. On to the Rumps with fine views to the Islands offshore, home to a few puffins, standing guarding the mouth of the Camel Estuary. The surf beaches of Polzeath, Daymer Bay Lovely St Enodoc Church hidden in a fold in the sand dunes, burial place of Sir John Betjeman, who fell in love with this part of North Cornwall.
