We went here 2 weeks before the main seasonal opening on a sunny couple of days. Although some of the shops and restaurants were still getting fully ready the harbour was busy but comfortable. Parking was easy but this soon changes. The beach's are spacious but a bit of a walk from the harbour. There is quite a bit to do in Padstow and it is also a good base for the rest of Cornwall. Wether you come here for the sea life, the food, the light and scenery, or the heritage Cornwall has so much to offer. There is no real bad weather in Cornwall just bad clothing the light and colours change from hour to hour, day to day, and season to season. Before the demiss of our shipping and fishing industries Cornwall was a vibrant economy which is only now finding its way back through tourism. This does cater for a few EVs but you should really rely on internal combustion engine cars to do more sight seeing driving cars than charging them.

A nice place, visited while working in the area, had a nice pasty and ice cream.

A beautiful natural harbour that has been home to fishing fleets for decades. Now it has a strong tourist offering with multiple Rick Stein establishments. Parking is a pain and it is does get crowded in the summer months. Good ferry to Rock.

Always a pleasure to visit, lots of independent shops, eateries and an idyllic harbour, some lovely walks with views out to sea and a foot ferry across to Rock and it's beautiful beach
