Polzeath

Polzeath sits on Cornwall’s north coast in the Camel Estuary area, best known for its wide sandy beach and its reputation as one of the county’s top spots for beginner surfing. The coast path leads towards Pentire Point and Daymer Bay, and the village has a relaxed, family friendly feel that makes it a popular base for a longer stay.
