Padstow Guide 

Padstow HarbourPadstow is a small fishing village and resort situated on the estuary of the River Camel in North Cornwall. Recently Padstow has become known as the gourmet capital of Cornwall after several high profile restaurants have opened in the town.

The most well known of these establishments is The Seafood Restaurant which was set up by TV chef Rick Stein a short while ago. Now there are several other well known establishments for the visitor to choose from including a couple more from the eponymous chef.  You will need to book well in advance for any of these venues. Do not be downhearted by the prospect of booking in advance, there are several excellent fish and chip shops that serve a variety of fresh, locally  caught, fish and you can sit on the quay and enjoy an excellent view as well - no need to book!

There are no beaches at the town itself but just outside there are good beaches that are suitable for swimming and other watersports. The main beach at Padstow is Tregirls beach, which is flat and sandy. The estuary itself offers very good moorings for visiting yachts. There are various boat trips that run from the inner harbour.
