    Polzeath for beginner surf bums

    Posted by Nanna 11 June 2010

    Two girls on our first trip to Cornwall ended up in Polzeath because we had heard it was a nice area to learn to surf and because there are lots of things to see and do. We keep going back there every year and every year we camp at the farm which sits on the hill over looking the bay. You can easily walk down to the beach from there and the views from the farm are breathtaking, plus the farm has a restaurant that does the best breakfast I have ever had – all ingredients are from the farm. I recommend Surf's Up for anyone learning to surf and although it can get a bit busy in the water it is such fun once you are out there trying to ride a wave. In between surf lessons we would walk along the coast to Rock and have a cream tea while starring out at Padstow on the other side of the bay. Don't miss out on Daimler Bay if you are in the area, voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world a few years ago.
    For an exceptional meal in the evening in beautiful settings head 10 minutes up the road to The Mote in Port Isaac, but make sure you book in advance as it gets booked up. If you go on a Friday night you will get a chance to hear the Fishermens Friends singing old fishermen songs acapella on the beach if the tide is down. Can be a truly magical experience.
