On the doorstep of your St Minver holiday cottage, you will discover one of the most beautiful sections of the Southwest Coast Path. Walking a few miles of this renowned route is highly recommended, with towering cliffs, sandy beaches, rocky coves and the chance to spot passing dolphins, seals and basking sharks. The area’s beaches are also among the region’s best. A short drive north from St Minver, Polzeath is a sandy beach, a popular spot for learning to surf. There are several surf schools at the beach, shops where you can hire equipment and a scattering of places to eat and drink overlooking the waves. 

A few miles east along the coast, Lundy Bay is a secluded cove where low tide reveals an expanse of sand. Daymer Bay is a vast, sandy shore where windsurfing is popular. It faces south and east across the River Camel.

During the summer months, a ferry runs between the bay and the fishing port of Padstow. There are several interesting historical landmarks to look out for on self-catering holidays in St Minver, including St Enodoc Church, where the poet John Betjeman is buried.
