A figure-of-8 walk from Daymer Bay through the dunes to Rock, passing the once-buried St Enodoc church, before crossing on the ferry to Padstow, and returning along three miles of sandy beaches.

Highlights

  • Sandy beach from Rock to Daymer Bay
  • St Enodoc Church - the burial place of Sir John Betjeman
  • Panoramic views over the Camel Estuary from Tregirls
  • Sandy beaches at Harbour Cove and St George's Cove
  • Padstow's historic harbour
  • Local food in Padstow
  • Sand dunes with wildflowers

Considerations

  • After prolonged heavy rain, the wetland area beside the track across the dunes at Harbour Cove can overspill onto the track making wellies necessary.
  • Note that most coastal walks in Cornwall have paths close to unfenced cliffs.
