sporting activities

Sailing & Windsurfing
The Camel estuary is a perfect sailing water, especially at high tide. There are a number of boat hire companies and an active sailing club that welcomes visiting sailors. For those bringing your own boat there is a beachside boat park in Rock. Windsurfers have the additional option of launching from Daymer Bay.

Water skiing
There is a marked area for water-skiers in the more sheltered parts of the Camel estuary. Rock Sailing & Water Ski club will welcome visiting water-skiers and for beginners there is the Water Ski school in Rock.

Surfing
Choose from the many surfing beaches; from Polzeath just 2 miles away, to Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Constantine or Harlyn Bay near Padstow. Slightly further afield is the popular Watergate beach at Newquay.

Golfing
Pit your golfing skills against the championship course at St Enodoc. Other courses for the more casual golfer that will not insist on a handicap certificate include St Enodoc (New Course), Roserrow and Trevone.

Cycling
The old coastal railway has been converted for the use of cyclists and walkers allowing a safe haven from other traffic. As you cycle along the side of the Camel estuary you can enjoy the breath taking vies of the cornish countryside.

beaches

You are spoiled for choice as far as beaches go. From the sand dunes and quiet expanse of beach from Rock, the in-estuary beach with it’s safe swimming and great expanse of hard sand for beach games at Daymer Bay or the many cove beaches that are great for surfing, body-boarding or just playing in waves and rock pools.
