Polkerris Beach Centre

Situated within spectacular coastline of low cliffs and secluded sandy beaches, it offers stunning scenery, which is the perfect background for getting out on the water, as well as superb walking routes on the South West Coast Path to the beautiful Menabilly valley, dramatic Gribbin Head, and picturesque Fowey estuary. The area around Polkerris is well known for its links with the author Daphne du Maurier, the setting of many of her novels, and more recently as an area for the filming of Rosamunde Pilcher's books.

A family-friendly beach, Polkerris is perfect for rock pooling, sandcastle building, sea swimming, and enjoying a day out with the whole family. The beachside takeaway cafe The Hungry Sailor offers artisan Cornish ice cream, pasties, bacon baps, and coffees, and if you've forgotten any essentials, our beach shop is open every day for buckets and spades, wetsuits, bodyboards, souvenirs, and much more. When you're ready to relax, you can savour a pint of local ale at the Rashleigh Inn, one of the UK’s top waterside pubs, or enjoy seafood and pizza at the award-winning Sam’s on the Beach restaurant.
