The beach at Polzeath is quintessentially North Cornish charm at its best and a surfers paradise to boot. Can't really say a bad thing about it. If you're camping hotelling, B&B'ing or just passing through stop off and get a wetsuit, grab a board and dive in. I've seen cheaper campsites than Tristram next to the beach but for facilities...

I have been coming to Polzeath for 33 years and in time I have brought my children and grandchildren here. It is the one place I can really relax, I know what is around the next corner.

A big open beach. Some surf. Lots of parking. Some shops for beach accessories, snacks and board and suit hire. At least a couple of big camp sites. Although the problem has been significantly overcome this beach has a national reputation for being caught up in confrontations between local police and posh largely public school kids over from opulent holiday...

Stayed at Valley Caran Park for 4 nights, just wish it could have been longer. The campsite is just a short walk from the beach and the caravans are equipped with everything required for a relaxing holiday. The owner of the site, Martin is a lovely family man and nothing is too much trouble for him. It is a family... More
