💡 Tips
- Check the tide tables daily; the famous tidal pool is only accessible and visible at low tide.
- Arrive before 10:00 AM during the summer months as the bay’s car park fills up very quickly.
- Walk north along the South West Coast Path to Trevose Head for a chance to spot seals.
- Visit the nearby village of St Merryn for the best local amenities, groceries, and fuel.
- Pack a windproof jacket, as the Atlantic breeze can be chilly even on sunny days.
🍽 Food
Pick up an authentic hand-crimped pasty from the bakery in the nearby village of St Merryn.
Enjoy scones with jam and clotted cream-remember, in Cornwall, it's jam first, then cream!
Look for high-quality food pop-ups in the car park during summer or visit nearby Harlyn Bay.

A 10-minute drive away; the best spot for local artisan cheeses, meats, and fresh bread.
A surprisingly well-stocked shop specializing in Cornish spirits and local deli items.
Head into Padstow harbor for unique lifestyle shops, gift boutiques, and art galleries.
A natural swimming pool in the rocks on the north side, very serene during mid-to-low tide.
