This live stream looks out over Polzeath, a surfing village on the north coast of Cornwall. It is useful for checking how the sea and sky look before you travel, or for simply watching the Atlantic roll in from home.

About Polzeath

Polzeath sits on a broad sandy beach facing the Atlantic, between Padstow and Port Isaac. The village is closely tied to surfing and has long attracted families and surf schools in summer. Its setting is open and windswept, with dunes and grassy headland framing the bay. Cornwall's north coast is known for its clear water and dramatic cliffs, and Polzeath is one of its most visited beaches.

What the camera shows

The view covers the beach and the water, so the most interesting moments are usually at low tide, when the sand is wide, and on days with swell, when surfers are out. Mornings often bring calmer water, while afternoons can be busier with people and boards. Weather changes quickly on this coast, so the picture can shift from bright sun to low cloud within an hour. Depending on the view, you may also see the surf school in action.

Planning a visit

The Cornish coast is mild for the UK, though the wind is usually strong and the Atlantic water stays cool even in summer. Late spring and early autumn are often the most pleasant for walking and surfing. Padstow, about four kilometres away, offers restaurants and boat trips, and Wadebridge along the Camel Trail is a good base for cycling. Check the live weather on this page before you set out.
