Welcome to Polkerris

Polkerris is a small village located on the south coast of Cornwall, England. It is a popular destination for tourists due to its beautiful beach and stunning views of the English Channel. The village is surrounded by lush green hills and is home to a small fishing community. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities such as swimming, surfing, and sailing, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun.

One of the main attractions in Polkerris is the Rashleigh Arms, a historic pub that dates back to the 17th century. The pub is located right on the beach and offers stunning views of the sea. It is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, and serves a range of traditional Cornish dishes such as fish and chips, pasties, and cream teas. The pub also has a large beer garden where visitors can enjoy a drink while taking in the beautiful surroundings.

Polkerris is also home to a number of walking trails that offer breathtaking views of the coastline. The South West Coast Path runs through the village and is a popular route for hikers. The trail takes visitors along the rugged coastline, past hidden coves and rocky cliffs, and offers stunning views of the sea. Visitors can also explore the nearby town of Fowey, which is just a short drive away and is home to a range of shops, restaurants, and galleries.

Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
