If you visit Polzeath during August, you may catch sight of
a strange creature emerging from the waves with a black body and a lobster-red
head. The creature in question is the
present incumbent at No. 10, who regularly holidays nearby with his family, and
for whom Polzeath is a favourite spot for unleashing his inner surfing dude. Polzeath has form when it comes to attracting
the upper echelons of society. In 2012
Princes William and Harry were spotted body boarding there. No surprises then that the car park at this
small, upscale resort is full of Range Rovers and other expensive vehicles
during the summer season. There is
parking available on the beach itself, but owners should beware the high tide,
which can swamp this parking area. There
are several surf schools in the area for those wanting to make the most of the
excellent surfing conditions, while for people wanting to just swim well away from
the surfers there is another beach at New Polzeath. There is a marine nature reserve at Polzeath,
and dolphins and seals are sometimes seen offshore. As well as surfing, Polzeath is known as a
foodie destination, with several upmarket restaurants serving up local seafood
and other delicacies.
