A great starting point for exploring the South West Coastal Path, which opens up routes to the stunning Cornish countryside, is Padstow, which is located at the beginning of the Camel Cycle Trail. This charming fishing port is flanked by beautiful beaches and provides many possibilities to sample the regional cuisine at places run by famous people. Padstow offers activities for everyone, including fishing, strolling, cycling, and taking trips on local fishermen's boats. For family-friendly activities, the superb surfing beaches of Harlyn and Constantine are suitable. A golf course is also located nearby in Constantine Bay, and Daymer Bay's beach is accessible via a passenger boat that runs from Padstow to Rock. The surfing mecca of Polzeath is only around the corner towards Pentire Head, and when the beach no longer calls, there are surrounding golf courses, various elegant residences, and gardens to explore. Just over 20 miles separate you from the magnificent Eden Project.
