With soft and golden sands, clean and calm waters, a laid-back surfer vibe, and beauty in every direction, Polzeath Beach is a great place for relaxation, swimming and having fun. Awarded the Blue Flag status, the beach is one of the safest for swimming and learning to surf and has lifeguard cover.

My favourite beach in the whole of the UK. It has soft sand, often good surf, free freshwater showers and quite a few coffee shops and restaurants that have amazing views.

Great wide beach with cafes, restaurants and small shops in the neighborhood.
There are toilets and lifeguards make sure nothing goes wrong while swimming in summer
