The National Lobster Hatchery is a unique organisation whose work in conservation, research and education separates them because they work specifically with a commercial species.  A charity based in Padstow, their work helps to make lobster sustainable in the UK, as the species alone is worth an estimated £30m a year. Both the Scandinavian and Mediterranean stocks have completely collapsed, so the hatchery aims to ensure global food security for future generations by facilitating the survival rate of eggs in the wild.  When you visit you can learn all about their work and support conservation.  They are open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10.15am, but opening times are seasonal so keep an eye on the website.  Prices are £12 for adults or £6 for children.

Rock beach is a beautiful long white sand beach located on the mouth of the Camel Estuary. This Area of Outstanding natural beauty is a haven for wading birds and the prefect spot for a swim in the clear blue waters or a picnic admiring the fantastic views. The beach is backed by sand dunes, please try to avoid walking on the dunes and keep to the footpaths where provided as there has been a huge amount of erosion in recent years. Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round and there is easy access to shops and all facilities including public toilets. Parking can be found in the car park just behind and access is via a ferry slipway or steps.

Located on the East side of the River Camel. Sand and dunes. Dog friendly. 

Situated at the mouth of the Camel estuary near Padstow lies Hawkers Cove Beach. This wide expanse of white sand beach stretches almost 1.5 miles. Despite its beautiful location and crystal clear waters it’s a fairly uncrowded beach, this is largely due to the limited parking and fairly convoluted access. You can walk from the beach along the coast path to Padstow and take in the breath taking views of the Camel Estuary. There is also a beautiful Tea Garden just up from the beach serving Cream Teas and light bites in the summer months. There is a car park a few minutes’ walk away, just follow signs for Hawkers Cove from the B3276.
