Polzeath has a wonderful beach for surfing. It is approximately ½ kilometer wide and almost goes out as far on a low spring tide. The beach is very flat and sandy making it popular for families as well as surfers, especially as it is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months.
Sea Fishing in Polzeath area
Local note
Polzeath is the kind of place where the day is shaped by simple things: tide, weather, a picnic, and time to notice the coast properly.
Plan the final walk from the car park and check whether the beach is easy with pushchairs, tired legs or beach bags.
A useful read before visiting with children, especially for tides, paths, facilities and simple beach expectations.
Beach and cove guides can help anglers understand access, ground, tide and nearby marks before packing kit.
Look up tide times, swimming guidance and weather before you go, especially on wilder beaches.
This area is excellent for all types of flatfish including ray. Also good for bass fishing.
