Situated on the north coast of Cornwall roughly seven miles from Wadebridge is the village of Polzeath. With a large sandy beach at low tide, Polzeath is one of England's most well known beaches for surfing due to the Atlantic Ocean swells rolling in and therefore is a very popular place all year round. A short walk along the coastal path will take you to the nearby and often quieter beaches of Broadagogue Cove and Daymer Bay.

The beach at Polzeath becomes a vast expanse of sand at low tide but on a high spring tide, especially if there is a big swell rolling in off the Atlantic Ocean the beach can be completely covered, even the upper part of the beach which is often used as a car park.
