FOR THOSE ABOUT TO GO TO ROCK (CORNWALL), WE SALUTE YOU!
Don’t think of Rock, Cornwall as being like an actual rock. It’s much softer than that as there is plenty of sand all around, thanks to its gorgeous beach that stretches around to Daymer Bay when the tide is low. Don’t think of this tranquil coastal fishing village that sits across the Camel Estuary from the famous port of Padstow as being like rock music either. It’s not particularly cool or edgy and the place is certainly heavier with cash than with noise. No, Rock’s name doesn’t really describe this place well. It’s unofficial monicker of ‘Chelsea-on-Sea’ is much better at that, due to its connections with the well-to-do residents who summer here. But it can be a great spot for families, with some insanely good restaurants around like The Dining Room, plus a waterski school and vintage cheese and wine in the shops. There’s top angling, windsurfing, rowing and sailing to be had, plus the yachts are worth checking out in the estuary. Expect the odd sighting of a millionaire and some exclusive villas in the woods. Rock up to rock and expect a charming experience with a little whiff of money in the air.
