A LITTLE GEM, POLKERRIS BEACH, lovely pretty relaxing little cove with a small harbour wall. Great for the children and parents, lovely sand idea for sandcastles and the beach has a gental slope. Theres a public bar and restaurant, a Restaurant, hire SUP’s stand up paddle boards, kayaks etc, a shop, and a small gallery. DONT MISS, the sunsones into Polkerris until it disappears. Coast Walk from there to Gribbin Head daytime red & white tower marker for the ships to see, or walk further to a few tiny coved beaches and onto fowey, WOW!
