(PL28 8QY) Padstow - South West Coast Path

Has to be one of the best places we've stayed. Beautiful beach, surf shop/cafe/outdoor bar with music (not loud) and pizza oven right on the beach. We stayed 19/4/23 for £15 overnight until 10am. Wouldn't want to stay July/Aug as owner told me it's way too busy but April in warm sunshine was just right. Lovely walk with dog on the beach. Very narrow roads but we were ok in our lwb

I'm a bit conflicted here as the views were incredible and the beach is stunning and located right on the SWC path. But it was 15 pounds to stay in a Carpark. No tap or fresh water source, no showers and still have to pay 50p to use the toilet. It was fine and perhaps in high season when there's music and people it would have made up for it.

Brilliant spot, would definitely use again worth the £15 for the overnight parking with the view of the beach in the morning

Such a great spot. Can imagine it gets really busy during the summer months but a winter camp-out in the van was spot on. Only given 4 stars for the simple reason that when you rock up, all the signs say you will be fined £100 if you park there between 0001 - 0600. No mention of camping overnight but if you go to the café in the morning you can pay £15 which allows you overnight parking until 0900

Absolutely loved this place! Stayed NYE. Felt completely relaxed, tons of space & could hear the sea from the van, perfect! Cafe open until 4pm & they take the money. I’d called ahead & they said if arrive after 4pm to just go & pay first thing. Worth the £15 overnight charge. Beautiful coastal walks in both directions.

Beautiful location to stay. Lovely walking paths nearby. toilets attached next to the car park charge 50p per visit! Paid for the evening parking for £15 at the shop attached to the cafe. Very helpful staff. Will stay again!

stayed 29/12. paid in the surf shop. cafe was open for good (but expensive) breakfast

Parked here last night, lovely place to stay the night. Parked right on the beach which is great. Went to cafe to pay for the overnight parking, £15 does seem pretty steep as that’s campsite prices but was still worth it.

This is excellent place for the night paid for overnight parking in the shop, excellent breakfast in the cafe, beach and surrounding walks are lovely.

Brilliant park up though £15 for night steep as no facilities apart from public toilet (£0.50 per use) cafe, surf shop & bar on site very nice. Good swimming spot

Absolutely stunning spot, I really don’t think there is a better place to wake up in Cornwall! £15 a night starting at 4pm until 9am the next morning so arrive just before 4 to avoid other parking chargers.

The perfect spot, honestly didn’t want to leave! Stayed 2 nights, paid £15 a night in the shop which is so worth it for the views, bar, restaurant and shop on site, the pizzas were great. Lovely walk over the cliffs into Padstow.

Absolutely amazing, one of the best we’ve stayed at. Signs do say no parking 00:00-06:00 but if you go into the shop/ bar and pay £15 they sign you on the system so you won’t get a ticket. For views like this it’s an absolute bargain. Toilets on site very clean, only 50p. Bins everywhere so no litter at all. Will definitely return.

Amazing views & super safe. Right on the beach, with a shop, cafe and bar all in the car park as well as toilets. Make sure you have 50p in change as you will need this for the toilets!

Very nice place for overnight parking also during summer. Pay the 15£ at the shop as soon as you have arrived.

Unbelievable night here. Turned up on the off chance, saw a beautiful sunset and then cafe/bar next door was playing live music. £15 for the night, there is another car park over the road so make sure you get the one next to the cafe, not sure location on this is bang on. Honestly, these has been the night of the holiday and the holiday last year too. Awesome.

Endroit sans doute sympa… mais interdit de s’y garer l’été entre 00h00 et 6h00 du matin !

Ace little spot, £15 a night 1900-0930 and before and after that you pay using machines in the carpark! Stunning views, literally a 10 second walk to the water! We stayed in a roof tent and nobody had any issues with that!

15.00 a night book in cafe. May 2022 Perfect overnight spot just beautiful. Life guards on beach. Highly recommend. Toilets are 50p. Food served in cafe. And a shop. Pay by the hour during the day. Dogs allowed on beach just around next cove but can be on trevone beach between 6pm till 10am.

NO PARKING BETWEEN 0:00-06:00

Practically empty at this time of year apart from dog walkers and the occasional swimmers. Absolutely amazing night sleep listening to the waves and so nice to just leave the doors open parked up with that view. Explored the beach and watched the sunset that evening so definitely worth the money

Love this place , we came in Feb and were the only ones parked up , the weather was rough and windy , just perfect to sit at watch the waves from the front of our MH . We arrived at 4.30pm and paid in the shop for the overnight parking at £15 (dogs are allowed on the beach out of season ) Cafe open at 9am for breakfast . A great find we will def be back !

My absolute amazing spot for my week exploring Cornwall. The view I opened my doors up to was like something out of a movie!! £15 for the night and an extra £1.50 for an extra hour if you go over in the morning. Have to be off the property by 8:30 am or pay by the meter. It was so quiet this time of year, us and 4 other camper vans!

Great location, £15 for an overnight stay, talk to the friendly staff in the shop who’ll sort you out. You need 50p for the toilet after hours. Had a lovely pizza and a few beers here. Make sure you don’t park in the grassy car park over the beach if you plan on overnighting it, same company but different owners and they don’t allow overnight stays.

Loved this spot, one of my favourite, very close to a beautiful little beach, toilet facilities, shop and bar/restaurant open until late! Make sure you go into the shop within 10mins of arrival to pay for your over night parking as car park is controlled by parking eye.

Great spot for £15. Paid in the shop for an over night ticket then £3.20 at the machine to take us up to 11am. Fantastic views of the beach. The outdoor bar at the shop was playing loud music until midnight but it didn’t bother us

Fantastic spot! Signs all say no overnight parking but we paid until 8pm at the machine and then paid £15 for 8pm-9am. You get 10mins grace period to buy a ticket! Toilets 50p in carpark. Note it is the carpark to the left of the beach not directly behind the beach (we got stung driving in then had to buy a ticket because of the cameras!!)

Amazing sea views. Just turn up and pay £15 for overnight parking in the cafe. No dogs allowed on the beach during peak times. Toilets in car park 50p to use

Overnight parking from 8pm to 8am. so you need to pay for extra parking outside these times. Busy and a bit noisy in the evening but quiet at night. Friendly in the shop and pizzas looked great. No dogs allowed on the beach.

Plenty of parking with a great view , £15 for night pay in shop , cafe do loverly food great stop

Absolutely stunning location. A tricky drive down in a long base van but so worth it!! We paid 15 pound for the stay but would have happily paid more. Fantastic.

Lovely place super close to the beach

Although there are signs everywhere that state you can not park overnight... You have to go into the shop to buy a ticket for 8pm to 9am costing £15 for overnight parking. The car park is free from 6am to 8am but chargeable 8am to midnight. The shop said the wrong signs have been put up... So very confusing...

Wonderful view, gorgeous walks, toilets, shop and restaurant. Toilets were locked overnight. £10 day parking and £15 overnight, buy in the restaurant or shop and display in windscreen. Stayed two nights and would stay again

Lovely place to stop over night! Paid £15 for the overnight (8-8) then there’s a pay and display for any extra hours you’re there. There are toilets which are ok, no hot water/mirrors. Lovely pizza/bar there and little shop with all sorts!

Great place! We paid £15 a night at the bar/cafe and stayed there 2 nights with a lovely view over the bay. Plenty of other vans there too. The car park gets quite busy so we had to move spaces in the day. Toilets there are nice and clean, you have to pay 50p a time to go though.

Price has now increased to £25 a night! Beautiful view but cafe owner doesn’t seem to want overnight stays (despite allowing it) and woken early to parking warden and loud radio control checking everyone had paid.

Very nice place to say stunning beach. Caffè wc beach we have big motor home 8mtr x 2.4 wide no prole getting down and easy turning in car park, don't think locals are thrilled about campers but don't worry the further north you go the friendlier they are lol

2 minutes after i arrived a crazy lady came to me saying i was going to have my tires cut during the night if i dare staying there, she complained i wasn t local and there was lockdown and wanted to report me to the police. I was on my journey to go back home but you cannot explain that to those people. Went away

This was a fantastic couple of nights for us. The shop was shut for refurbishment so it was free to stay over night. It’s usually £10 tho. The toilets are currently closed as they are attached to the shop. The views and sunsets are out of this world. The area is very quiet and mainly full of local dog walkers. We loved it and will defo be back. Perhaps during the summer months when it’s not so cold. Would recommend you all try it -

Incredible view, worth the £15 spent to stay here. There is a nice cafe and pizza restaurant too but you have to pay 50p each time you use the toilets so bring change!

Got here about 4pm. Friday paid £15 overnight. large area over looking the beach. loved it.

Great spot right by the beach, no limit as to how many nights you can stay. Nice cafe, serving breakfast, lunch & dinner and shop for surf hire etc. We were charged £10 for overnight stay as we only have very small van. You have to also pay £5 for the day though, so 4* because of the cost

£15 for over night, £5 for the day. Was lovely being right by the beach only downside is no dogs on the beach 10am-6pm but there is a nice long walk they can do whilst you wait. Another downside was that the toilets lock overnight so if you get up in the middle of the night you’ll have to pop a squat. Toilets 50p

We were charged £17 per night in July 2020. Daytime still £5.

We were charged £5 for day and night, 50p for toilets, cracking view of the beach. Cafe does really good food - lovely pizzas. There is a little shop very close. Amazing location to visit the beaches locally.

He’s put the price up to £15 for overnight plus £5 per day. Toilets are .50p. Decent brekkie though!

Great views & beach, nice facilities (toilets for 50p and good take away and bar). £15 for overnight parking, then £5 for the day. 3* due to price.
