Polzeath has a magnificent surfing beach known to be one f Cornwall's finest - a surfer's paradise - and there is the breathtaking scenery of the cliffs from Pentire to Port Quin offering wonderful walking country. The vast Atlantic rollers pound this safe beach making ideal sport for surfers and has a vast expanse of sand ideal for children. As well as all the usual facilities, there is a centre for a Voluntary Marine Wildlife Area initiated by North Cornwall Heritage Coast and Countryside Service, who also promote an under-standing of the area through walks, talks and beach events. The Camel Estuary, with its contrasts of remote, rugged landscape, long stretches of sandy beaches and mild climate, is rightly claimed as one of, if not the major attraction on the North Cornish coast. The tidal waters of the estuary stretch from the mouth of the estuary some five miles south towards Wadebridge and up to a mile wide between Rock and Padstow. This large inland area of calmer waters is protected from the Atlantic ocean by Stepper Point, Pentire and a sand bar at the mouth of the estuary, giving ideal conditions for all varieties of water sports. Pleasure, fishing and bird watching trips are available from Rock and Padstow. There is a wide variety of bird life along the coast towards The Rumps with an abundance of water fowl, seabirds both resident and migratory, and the magical clowns of the sea, the puffins. Gannets and cormorants can be seen fishing, grey seals and occasionally dolphins may be spotted in the bay. The birdlife around the estuary is especially good with the Walmsley Sanctuary nearby at Amble - over 40 acres of bird sanctuary, migratory home to at least 90 species, as well as an abundance of other wildlife.

Good fishing is found on the estuary for rod and line from the beach while sea fishing for mackerel, pollack and shark is also very popular. The National Trust land at Pentire is an extensive carpet of wild flowers, at its best in the Spring. Guided walks help visitors explore and enjoy the rich network of footpaths with the most spectacular scenery and there are also circular walk leaflets for those who prefer to "go it alone". For the more energetic, tennis and squash courts are available for hire while pony trekking, cycle hire and a choice of challenging golf courses, including St Enodoc, are within easy reach. The Camel Trail, running along the route the railway took, goes alongside the estuary from Padstow, through Wadebridge, Grogley Halt to the upper reaches of the Camel at Wenford and Bodmin - a cycle route that has become a model for others to follow.
