Rock sits across the Camel Estuary from Padstow, reached by a short passenger ferry, and has a reputation as one of Cornwall’s more upmarket destinations, popular for sailing, watersports and its sandy estuary beach. Daymer Bay and Polzeath are close along the coast, and the village has a relaxed, well heeled feel that brings people back year after year.
