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.
Lusty Glaze Beach is one of the smaller beaches which at low tide connects all neighbouring beaches together. Lusty is a steep walk down and benefits from the high cliffs that back on to this beach as it protects you from the wind. Although this beach is privately owned its fully open to the public at no cost. This Cornish beach is home to an adventure center with various act-ivies such as climbing, bungee jumping, surfing and other watersports. Located in Newquay this beach can get busy during summertimes as its great for the family but please be careful as the cliffs are eroding at a fast rate so we advise not to sit underneath them if you can help it!
