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.
Coverack Beach is located in West Cornwall on the Lizard Peninsula. The beach backs on to the little fishing village of Coverack and the harbour here is one of the more photogenic ones of Cornwall with beautiful granite walls and a few wooden fishing boats nearby along with whitewashed cottages above. This remote part of the Cornish coast rarely sees much attention of a crowd beyond ones staying in the area. Low tide there is a good size of golden sand making it ideal for families but as the tide comes in this dissappears and becomes more of a rocky beach.
