Rock


Rock is on the Camel estuary on the opposite bank to Padstow, and the little ferry that does regular crossings is a pleasant way to enjoy both sides. The long stretches of sand along this estuary make lovely golden beaches fringed by low grassy dunes, perfect for lazing about in the sun. The breeze funnels straight in from the sea, but it is very warm in the welcome shelter of the dunes. Today with the Easter weekend crowds it has a distinctly social air about it, but because it is so so long and spacious you don't get any hemmed-in feeling.
