This live stream looks out over Polzeath, a surfing and family beach on the north coast of Cornwall. Check it before you drive down to see what the sea and sky are doing right now.
Polzeath sits on the Atlantic side of Cornwall, facing a wide sandy beach framed by dunes and the cliffs of Pentire Point to the north. The village is a long-standing favourite with surfers and families, and its popularity has kept it lively through much of the year. The coast here is shaped by strong Atlantic swell, so the mood of the bay can change quickly with wind and tide.
Depending on the view, you may see surfers and body boarders in the water, the tide moving across the sand, and the changing colour of the sea under different light. Mornings with offshore wind often bring clearer water, while stormy afternoons show the power of the swell. Early and late in the day, when the light is low, the coastline usually looks at its most dramatic.
Cornwall has a mild, damp climate, with summers that are cool by southern European standards and autumns and winters that are often windy. Spring and early autumn are good times to visit for quieter beaches. Nearby, you can compare the scene with the Polzeath beach camera, the Wadebridge view along the River Camel and Camel Trail, and the Porthbeach camera in Newquay.
