Dennis Cove

Known by the children as "Stony Beach", much of the time you can walk along here skirting the mud flats all the way to the outskirts of Padstow proper. But at high water, as now, it becomes a string of places along the coast path where you can get down to the water: each one the merest stony edge of foreshore. From Dennis Cove you look out onto the Camel estuary, now a flat expanse of shallow water dotted with little boats, and watch the 'weather' as it changes minute by minute.
