AN EXCLUSIVE WATERSPORTS DESTINATION, SET ACROSS THE WATER FROM PADSTOW

If you enjoy getting active on your Beach Retreats self-catering holiday, this could be the destination for you. The Camel Estuary which flows between Rock and the picturesque Padstow harbour, boasts fantastic water conditions attracting avid watersport enthusiasts throughout the year. From kayaking, SUP safaris and water skiing to wakeboarding, sailing and more, there is something for all ages and abilities during a holiday in Rock.

The beach provides a long expanse of golden sand at low tide, leading round to Brea Hill and the popular Daymer Bay. Walk the South West Coast Path and take in the awe-inspiring views over the bays and out towards Padstow.

If you prefer to sit back and relax while enjoying the finer things in life, Rock has a great choice of sophisticated eateries including No1 Rock Road, Nathan Outlaw’s Mariner’s Rock and The Dining Club. Further a field, you can hop on a water taxi and enjoy an evening in Padstow dining at Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, Paul Ainsworth’s No.6 or Rojanos. Self catering holidays in Rock call for evenings dining out.

ACCESSIBILITY
