Padstow

Padstow is a working fishing port and a haven for yachts as it is an easily navigable harbour sheltered by the Camel Estuary. Padstow has become well known in recent times due to the TV chef Rick Stein who has a restaurant and several other businesses in the town.

The National Lobster Hatchery is situated in Padstow.

Boobys Bay

Boobys Bay is a wide sandy beach with lots of rock pools. At high tide the beach is completely covered.

Hawkers Cove

Hawkers Cove is only 2 miles from Padstow and used to house the Padstow lifeboat until the late 60s when it was relocated to Trevose Head. The old boathouse and slipway still remain.

Sea Fishing in Padstow area

This whole area is good for bass and all species of flatfish if fishing off the beaches. The headlands are good fishing places for pollack, mackerel and the odd whiting or cod.
