The Camel Estuary, Rock to Port Isaac
This beautiful coastline with its contrasting remote rugged landscape, long stretches of sandy beaches and mild climate is rightly claimed as one of, if not, the major attraction on Cornwall's Atlantic coast. The tidal waters of the estuary stretch from its mouth near Padstow and Rock, to several miles south of Wadebridge. This large inland area of calm waters is protected from the Atlantic Ocean and provides ideal conditions for all water sports including; surfing, malibu and bodyboarding. The area is perfect for small children who can happily play on the many sandy beaches and explore the numerous rock pools in comparative safety.
The village of Rock could hardly be less appropriately named, famous for the long stretches of fine sandy beaches and clear blue water. Rock is renowned as one of the major water-sport centres in Cornwall sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, canoeing and rowing are all activities which can be carried out in the relatively calm waters of the estuary. Excellent food can be found in the many restaurants and pubs in and around the Rock area, as well as the fresh local produce available from the bakery, butcher, fish shop, delicatessen and general store.
