Rock is the neighbouring town to Padstow, just across the Camel estuary. Rock got its name from a local quarry where rocks were used as ballast by ships that had unloaded the cargo at Padstow; this quarry has now been replaced as a car park. In recent years Rock has seen great investment brought into this small town, bringing all kinds of celebrities to buy second homes here including Royal Family members, and now Rock is often referred to as ‘Chelsea-on-Sea’ with there being multiple million-pound homes, villas, and apartments hidden amongst the trees on the edge of the cliffs.
Par Sands Beach is located in South East Cornwall and situated near St Austell just a short walk away from Par Sands Beach. Par Sands beach is a wide sandy beach and faces towards the south, this beach also backs on to some low sand dunes like most cornish beaches. During summer the beach can get quite busy with many holiday parks around the beach although it can get crowded it never feels it as the beach is vast. Low tide opens to beach up more and unveils some rock pools to explore with the children.
Swimming at Par Sands can be quite safe but considering there is no lifeguard cover we always enter the sea with caution.
