Holidays in Rock

Rock is a stunning coastal village situated on the north-eastern bank of the River Camel, tucked into the north coast of Cornwall. Adjacent to Padstow, this affluent stretch of coast offers a little piece of paradise, with crystal clear waters, golden sandy beaches and a celebration of fresh, local food.

Rock, said to be named after the local quarry, is well known for its famous oysters and fresh sea food; it’s a food-lover’s delight, with freshly caught fish available at local eateries. 

Visitors to the village can spend their days on the glorious Daymer Bay, relaxing on the silky soft sand and swimming in the turquoise waters. For the more adventurous, water sports are a big part of the community at Rock, guests can try their hand at a range of water sports on offer.
