Polzeath Beach

Polzeath Beach

(3 reviews)

Lovely beach. Can get crowded in the summer but it's so worth it. Parking is available on the…read morebeach, and super handy if you're going surfing or boarding. Plenty of shops n restaurants there for a bite or to pick up some sun cream. Clears out fast when sun starts going down. Plenty of the shops have free wi-fi if you need it.

Every time we holiday in Cornwall we spend at least one afternoon on Polzeath. It's not as good as…read moreHolywell Bay(see review) overall but it has many decent features. I'm glad HB hasn't got bustling surfwear shops and coffee shops and hippies that'll fleece you £5 to braid you kids hair, but I quite like that here. I suppose it's the contrast that I like. We park in the cliff top car park which has amazing views. A gentle walk round to the town or an impatient hop down the cliff face to the beach. The beach is great apart from the car park on it which is annoying unless I'm lucky to get a space there, then it's brilliant! In low tide the sea goes out quite a way and your left with a totally flat beach for footy, cricket etc. There is a bit of a stream sweeping across the beach - we caught hundreds of tiny tiny fish in it in the summer. On both sides there are loads of rock pools and there's one that's quite deep where you can jump off highish rocks into the water. The sea has quite a fast swell so it's not very safe for little ones and inflateables. The poet John Betjemen loved it here apparently and is buried nearby. In the 'town' there are a handful of beach tat shops, some surf wear shops, pubs and a decent coffe/ ice cream shop. There's also a surf school place there where you can give it a go. A nice place to spend an afternoon - preferably at low tide as the beach all but disappears at high tide.

Sidmouth Beach

Sidmouth Beach

Hi Everyone!…read more Sidmouth beach well were to I start? the beach is pebbled though when the tide goes out there's lots of sand! For Tide Times: http://www.sidmouthherald.co.uk/sidmouthherald/flatfiles/tides/tides.aspx There are no longer lifegaurds on the beach, but the sea never has large waves in the summer, so not for surfers I'm afraid. The lifeboat is always there ready for any emergencies. There are some great rock pools when the tide goes out, head towards Jacobs Ladder. the beach doesn't have an EU Blue Flag (2009) because of the Napile which meant that this year some oil spills were found on the beach. this is no longer a problem, I see the beach every weekend and I haven't found a oil spill so don't worry. Top tips 1 - don't swim between the two rocky sea defences in the sea, people get in to trouble (however good you are at swimming) 2- good at low tide and take a bet for rock pooling, you'll be amazed what you can find! 3 - generally head away from the town for more sand! 4 - take some sun tan lotion, a BBQ and some drinks for the ultimate day at the beach

A rocky affair on the south coast in sleepy Sidmouth. It's famous for the boxing day swim - an…read moreannual event held to raise money for the RNLI. Every year, hundreds of people dressed in various costumes dive into the freezing waters of the English channel, and paddle around a bit. It's quite hilarious to watch. I won't be participating myself however, since I can't swim...

Kynance Cove - stunning scenery

O M G The Kynance Cove scenery is breathtaking...YOU HAVE TO GO.. See my photographs so you can see…read morewhy. Listed below information about this place. Located on the west side of the Lizard and probably the most photographed and painted location in Cornwall, the contrast between the cove's white sand beach and the dark red and green serpentine rock produces a breathtaking sight. There's a steep 15 minute walk down to the cove from the car park at the top of the cliff. At low tide you can explore the towering rocks stacks and the caves with names such as The Parlour and The Drawing Room. Located just above the beach is an eco-friendly café selling Cornish pasties, fresh sandwiches, baguettes, homemade cakes and cream teas along with beach goods. From Kynance there is a fantastic 2 mile scenic walk around the coast to Lizard Point, mainland UK's most southerly point. Kynance Cove is owned and looked after by the National Trust and is able to care and conserve areas like this thanks to their members, volunteers and donors.

Last year we just dropped by on the coastal walk but this year spent the day on the beach and…read morehere's what we thought! Firstly there is a car park on top of the cliff that is NT & costs £4.50 if you are not a member. It's a short but steep walk down to the cove, an alternative is available which is longer & is the service track to the cafe. Once down to the beach there is a boulder field to negotiate before you reach the sand which can be absent when the tide is in so the cove is very tide dependant. However when it's out it's a fab place to spend the day, 2 small bays separated by a sand ridge punctuated by large rocks. There are a couple of sea caves to explore. Very popular so get there early to bag your spot when the tide goes out. worth a visit if on the lizard & tides are on your side.

Perranporth Beach

What a great billowy massive span of sand at Perranporth. We came here as I wanted to go to the…read moreone and only English pub in the country that is actually located right on the sands. Apparently this is the only pub in England on ta beach.This beach was lovely for a bright crisp December afternoon. Loads of families and tonnes of dogs racing around - which was lovely to see. There are a lot of small little caves with interesting rock colours, to investigate. We really enjoyed a few hours here. Listed below is some more information that I found on the web. So what's the attraction? Well, the miles of really golden sand are probably a good start, plus the huge surf, the sand dunes etc. etc. Yes, it's a pretty impressive place. Starting from the village, it's easily accessible which is ideal if you've got young ones in tow and you could just plonk yourself on the sand close to the village, put down your beach towels and relax. There's a selection of cafe's and bars close by, serving snacks and drinks throughout the main holiday seasons. If the tide's right out, do the place justice and have a walk up the beach to Ligger Point, just a 2 mile jaunt away. Because the beach is so huge, it almost feels as if you have the place to yourself and the fresh air off the ocean is exhilarating. Early morning you'll probably see a few horses and their riders having a paddle in the surf and there's a welcome cafe for a coffee stop halfway along. You can make the return journey (or if the tide's in) over the extensive sand dunes which are teeming with wildlife, taking pictures of butterflies and lizards.

Perranporth beach is well worth a visit if you like your coastline and beaches. The sand is soft…read moreand clean with a wide waters edge. There are some decent size sand dunes and rock formations that give a good view. There are watersport activities for you to try such as kite sailing and sand buggies. The surrounding area has plenty of the usual type shops, bars and restaurants. The pub is quite famous for its huge and unpronounceable name.
