Polzeath Beach, Sandy beach in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The golden sand beach stretches between Pentire Head and the Camel Estuary, offering views across the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding cliffs.
The beach gained recognition during the 19th century when tourism emerged as the primary economic driver of the local community.
The location inspired renowned poets, including Sir John Betjeman who celebrated the landscape in his poem Seaside Golf.
The RNLI provides lifeguard services from Easter through September, with additional coverage during weekends in April and October.
Visitors can park directly on the beach during low tide, making it convenient to transport surfing equipment and beach necessities.
