St Merryn sits on the beautiful North Cornwall coast, surrounded by some of the county's best beaches, scenic coastal walks and great local pubs. It's peaceful, easy to explore, and close enough to Padstow when you fancy a day out.
The campsite is on the edge of St Merryn village. Harlyn Bay is a 45-minute walk or 10-minute drive. Constantine Bay is 5 minutes by car. Padstow — ferries, fish and chips, the full tourist experience — is a 10-minute drive north.
All different. All within easy reach.
5 min drive
Wide, sandy, consistent surf. Popular with families and surfers. Car park at the beach.
45 min walk · 10 min drive
Sheltered and sandy — one of the calmest bays on this stretch. Good for swimming and small children.
10 min drive
Rockpools at low tide, surf at high. Quieter than Constantine but just as good on a clear day.
10 min drive
The quietest of the four. Backed by dunes. Worth the drive when the others are busy in August.
St Merryn has a handful of pubs, a famous Rick Stein restaurant, and a few smaller cafés and places to eat.
10 min walk
St Merryn's local. Local ales, good pub food and a beer garden. Dog-friendly, too.
10 min walk
Breakfast, coffee, and something homemade. Opens early enough for campers.
10 min drive
The famous one. Book ahead in summer. The Chippie on the harbour does the same fish without the reservation.
10 min walk
A great local spot for takeaway pizzas after a day at the beach.
Most within ten minutes of the gate.
10 min drive
17 miles of traffic-free cycling along the Camel Estuary from Padstow to Bodmin. Bike hire available in Padstow.
10 min drive
Rides and attractions suited to younger kids. Half-day is usually enough. Check seasonal opening times before going.
10 min drive
Harbour, shops, galleries, and more food than you'll need. Worth a morning on foot. Parking fills fast in August — go early.
10 min drive
Head up to Trevose Head for some of the best coastal views in North Cornwall. It's a great spot for a walk, especially at sunset, and only a short drive from the campsite.
