St George's Cove
St George's Cove is a hidden gem located on the stunning coastal path between Padstow and Hawkers Cove. This picturesque and secluded cove is nestled between two cliffs, making it the perfect place for a picnic and a spot of relaxation. Unlike the more crowded beaches, St George's Cove offers a quiet day out away from the hustle and bustle.
If you are planning on entering the water, it is important to note that there are no lifeguards at this beach and the tidal currents can be strong in the Camel Estuary. Experts recommend entering the water at slack water to ensure your safety, however, swimming between the flags at RNLI lifeguarded beaches is always the recommended option when swimming in the sea.
