Hotels, Guest accommodation, Self Catering & Camping in Polzeath

Polzeath is a small village on the headland opposite Padstow, and is an absolute haven for surfers and beach lovers. The village offers fabulous walks, golden sandy beaches and secluded coves. Within the village are many shop, pubs, cafés and restaurants. There is a nature reserve and some interesting rock pools teeming with marine life on the beach. Dolphins can sometimes be spotted, and this is a good area for many types of coastal bird, including puffins. The beach more or less disappears at high tide! The coastal path passes through Polzeath in one direction to Daymer Bay and Rock, and in the other through New Polzeath, Pentire Point and along miles of stunning coastline. The village was a favourite place of the late poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman and is celebrated in some of his verse.
