Polkerris Beach combines an idyllic sandy Cornish cove with first class watersports facilities. 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 up the lane, no through traffic, a beach shop and café, equipment rental so you don’t have to lug everything with you and personalised windsurfing and sailing courses at our RYA Recognised Training Centre. 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. The new restaurant 'Sam's on the Beach' was a very welcome addition in 2009, with excellent food in a stylish setting.

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 and frequent 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. We welcome enquiries for special events: anything from a barbeque for a family occasion to the Fowey Lifeboat's 150th anniversary which we were proud to host in May last year. In fact, we are always interested in working with other groups and organisations – see the Partners page for more information.

The business is privately owned and run by the Shillito family: we look forward to welcoming you soon!
