Port Quin (the backdrop to many a film and the television series Poldark). Port Quin is a small rugged inlet harbour that has a compelling atmosphere all of its own. A place of peace and tranquillity on a summer's day, and conversely, awe inspiring during a winter storm. Local folklore recounts that the entire fishing fleet was destroyed at sea one stormy night, there were no survivors.
Today, there is little here but four National Trust holiday cottages and a few other buildings converted from old stone built fish warehouses.

Polzeath beach is a large expanse of beautiful sand which is bordered by rock-pools. It is acclaimed to be one of the best surfing beaches in the country. Polzeath itself is a small village with a number of small retail establishments, cafes and restaurants.
Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.

Daymer Bay has recently been voted one of the best beaches in the world! St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, is within comfortable walking distance of Daymer Bay and is the resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay holds great appeal for wind surfers with the waves rolling up the estuary. There is enormous fun too for small children with buckets and spades and fishing in the rock pools.

Excellent pleasure trips are run from Padstow in power boats or the larger Jubilee Queen which tours local bays and islands.

The National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek near Helston .
The National Seal Sanctuary in Gweek is Europe's leading marine animal rescue centre was the brain child of retired Welsh miner Ken Jones.
The concept of the Sanctuary was developed aftter he found a young abandoned Grey Seal pup on the beach. This incident helped Ken Jones to decide what he wanted to do with his retirement in Cornwall. Each year more than 30 seals are rescued from probable death and taken to the National Seal Sanctuary. The dedicated veterinary team will often work through the night to do everything possible to stabilise the seal's condition.
Once the seal is on the road to recovery it continues its recuperation in one of the outdoor pools where you can enjoy watching the seals swimming, sun bathing and eating lots of fish!
