Carn Mar

Carn Mar is located off the beaten track, at the end of a quiet lane in the beautiful area of New Polzeath. Here all that separates you from the beach is the picturesque coast path winding down to the sands of Polzeath Beach.

While you’re here, enjoy the surf and beach lifestyle that the area is famous for, with the comfort of home just moments away.

Polzeath is renowned for its fantastic surf conditions and collection of high quality surf schools. At Carn Mar all you need to do is look out of the window to assess the conditions, making it the ideal base if you enjoy time amongst the waves.

With the picturesque South West Coast Path on your doorstep, there are endless possibilities for walking and exploration. To one side, discover the secluded sands of Baby Bay and the rugged coast path leading up to Pentire Point and The Rumps. Pack some snacks and bubbles and head up for a breathtaking sundowner to remember.

To the far side of Polzeath Beach is the coast path leading along to Daymer Bay. Here you can enjoy a family beach day or round of golf at the world famous St Enodoc Golf Course. Around the headland are the golden sands of Rock Beach, where you can take to the water with a sailing lesson or sea safari, or hop on the ferry to the harbour town of Padstow.

With a top class array of restaurants within easy reach of Carn Mar, there’s a feast of foodie experiences to choose from. Head onto the beach to enjoy quality surf and turf at Surfside, with locally caught lobster on the menu. Time it right and you’ll also be treated to chilled out vibes from live acoustic music.

In the village of Rock, just a five-minute drive away, sample the delights of The Dining Room or a meal with a view at Nathan Outlaw's pub, The Mariners. Across the estuary in Padstow is fine dining at Rick Stein's The Seafood Restuarant and Paul Ainsworth at No 6. Or for something a bit different, why not book places at Rick Stein's Cookery School and experience a fun, interactive evening with your friends or family?
