Located on Cornwall’s north coast, Padstow is one of the county’s most iconic destinations. Hugged by the Camel Estuary and the famous Seven Bays, this charming fishing village is celebrated for its foodie scene, walking and cycling routes, and its May Day ‘Obby ‘Oss festival. Whether you’re exploring its winding streets, enjoying a beach day, or walking the South West Coast Path to Stepper Point, Padstow offers a quintessential Cornish escape.
For food-lovers, Padstow’s culinary reputation precedes itself, offering an array of exceptional restaurants, bars, and cafés. Rick Stein’s iconic restaurants are a must-visit for seafood enthusiasts, while Paul Ainsworth’s Michelin-starred No.6 promises an unforgettable fine dining experience. Along the harbourfront, you’ll find Greens, Cherry Trees and Prawn on the Lawn, as well as traditional St Austell Brewery pubs like Shipwrights and The Old Custom House. Padstow is also known for its collection of charming bakeries, tea rooms, and delis – perfect for relaxed lunches or on-the-go beach picnics.
Padstow’s harbour is a hub of activity, offering endless ways to enjoy a summer’s day. Try crabbing on the quay, watch fishing boats return to shore, or set off on a wildlife adventure with Wavehunters. Whizz along the coastline on one of their thrilling rib tours, spotting seals, dolphins, and even basking sharks, or enjoy a slower pace with a scenic cruise aboard the Jubilee Queen. Families will be captivated by the National Lobster Hatchery, a fascinating marine conservation centre, just steps from the harbour. Or for outdoor enthusiasts, hiring bikes to explore the Camel Trail is a must – a picturesque 18-mile route winding through the Cornish countryside towards Wadebridge, Bodmin and St Breward.
Dogs are welcome on Hawker’s Cove all year round and walkers will enjoy easy access onto the South West Coast Path with routes stretching over to Stepper Point, Trevone and Harlyn Bay. Alternatively, you can tick off stunning walks to Daymer Bay and Polzeath by catching the water taxi over to Rock.
Steeped in local tradition, Padstow is also famous for its vibrant May Day ‘Obby ‘Oss festival – one of the oldest folk customs in the UK. This annual celebration fills the town with music, dancing, and community spirit, offering a unique glimpse into the town’s rich heritage.

With plenty of bike hire options in both Padstow and nearby Wadebridge, cycling the Camel Trail is a must.

The closest beach to Padstow is Harbour Cove. Dog-friendly year-round, this golden expanse is popular with families and is an easy 30 minute walk from the harbour. Enjoy spectacular sea views across to Rock, pass the war memorial at St Saviour’s Point, and find this secluded beach at the end of the coast path. For a longer route, cross the sand and head to Rest A While Tea Garden for al fresco refreshment. Open from Easter to October, this local gem serves ice cream and Cornish cream tea to fuel walkers on the stint back to Padstow.
Other nearby beaches like Rock Beach and Daymer Bay are best reached via the water taxi. Board from Padstow’s slipway to cross the Camel Estuary and infamous Doom Bar, where soft golden sands, marram-topped dunes and shallow rockpools await on both beaches.
For dog-friendly holidays, we recommend the walk from Rock to Daymer Bay via Brea Hill, where you’ll be rewarded with views over Stepper Point and St Enodoc Church and golf course.
Or, if you’re hopping in the car towards Cornwall’s Seven Bays, gentle waters and beachside cafes await at Porthcothan, Harlyn and Constantine.
