The Best Beaches in Padstow
Simple the best.
St. George’s Cove, Harbour Cove & Hawker Cove
These three stunning beaches are all situated close together, and are of easy access from us via the South West Coastal Path. While they are small coves, they can only be reached by foot or boat, so are nice and quiet.
01
Harlyn Bay
One of the larger beaches in the area, Harlyn Bay is a popular choice for surfers and families as it has lifeguard cover in the summer months, a superb surf school and plenty of foodie outlets around - everything you need for a perfect beach day out!
02
Mother Ivey's Bay
Around 15 minutes from Padstow, Mother Ivey’s Bay is a small but truly stunning cove and one of the absolute favourites of locals. It’s perfectly sheltered and a popular spot for swimmers, kayakers and paddle boarders.
