Trevone Bay

Highlight • Natural

Popular with surfers and families alike, Trevone Bay has good swell yet a gently sloping beach plus plenty of rocks and caves for children to explore.

There are toilets, a cafe and a shop at the beach and just a short step inland Trevone has plenty more facilities to offer. It is a good place to park and walk round the coastline to Padstow.

Stepper Point Daymark Tower

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the rugged headland of Stepper Point, you experience wonderful views over the Cornish coastline. The headland is topped by a stone tower, built as a 'day mark' to serve as a navigation beacon for seafarers during daylight.

Stepper Point Tower

Highlight • Monument

This perfect coastal path runs from Padstow to the lovely view at Stepper Point. Great views across the inlet to Polzeath. Stepper Point was built as a navigation point to keep sailors safe during the day, and offers fantastic views in all directions.

St George's Cove

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just a half mile walk from Padstow will bring you to St George's Cove. At high tide there is just a small area of sand, it is low tide when the cove really gets to show off its best side. The golden sands are so vast you can walk all the way to Hawker's Cove and Harbour Cove.

Facing out into the Camel Estuary, it is lovely and sheltered but sadly it isn't a swimming beach, as tempting as it looks. The currents in the estuary are very strong and very dangerous. Enjoy the views over to Rock and Daymer Bay instead.

View of the Camel Estuary from Padstow

Highlight • Trail

A glorious section of the Cost Path lies here at the Camel Estuary. From Padstow towards the sea you have great views - of Padstow and the harbor to Pentire Point. The path leads along the coast, over a dune landscape and up to Stepper Point.
