1.4 miles from Polzeath
A shifting sandy bar at the mouth of the Camel Estuary between Stepper Point and Trebetherick Point, notorious for strong tides and breaking surf. Fished from the shorelines of Hawker’s Cove, Daymer Bay and Rock, it offers classic surf–estuary bassing and clean-sand flatfish. Best on a flooding tide as water...
