Rock Beach

Visit Rock Beach

Rock Beach is a large popular sandy beach on the North Cornwall coast, often referred to as ‘Chelsea on Sea’, due to the amount of exclusive homes and villas. During the summer months Rock gets extremely busy.

Sailing, waterskiing and sunbathing on the beach, Rock has all the activities for all ages. There is a regular ferry across the river to Padstow Harbour for afternoon trips.

Out of season the visitors can enjoy the charm of the seaside town at a more leisurely pace.
