Polkerris Beach combines an idyllic sandy Cornish cove with fantastic watersports for all. It’s as good for a day trip as it is for a two-week holiday or intensive watersports course.


From the smallest sandcastle-building toddler to the seasoned watersport enthusiast, there is something for everyone here. Picture this – a sheltered, sandy beach in a small village, self-catering accommodation just 100m up the road, no through traffic, a beach shop and café, equipment rental so you don’t have to lug everything with you, personalised windsurfing and sailing tuition and safety cover on the water. Round that off with a beer in the Rashleigh Inn right on the beach as the sun sets and you have the makings of the perfect Cornish beach scene.


Located a couple of miles from Fowey in South East Cornwall, Polkerris is easy to get to by car. It’s also close to Par mainline station with direct train services from London.


The Polkerris Beach Company is based in a 17th century pilchard store, right on the beach with plenty of space and facilities. Equipment is stored both on the beach and in our private, secure yard. The business is privately owned and run by the Shillito family, with windsurfing tuition led by George, one of Britain’s top youth windsurfers, a member of Team AirBorn and former Vass instructor. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
