Trewint lies just off the road that winds down to Polzeath Beach, in a spot that feels both connected and quietly tucked away. Close enough to pad down for early surfs and evening ice creams, yet far enough back to enjoy a little more peace and privacy.
Nestled in Higher Tristram, this is one of Polzeath’s most sought-after corners. From here, the views stretch out over the surf towards Pentire Point and the coast path waits just around the corner. Greenaway Beach, with its rock pools and west-facing sunsets, is within walking distance, as is the golden sweep of Daymer Bay.
This stretch of coastline is made for days outdoors. Polzeath’s surf is well known, whether you’re learning the ropes or catching clean, curling waves. On calmer days, you can wander to Rock for a sailing lesson or hop across the estuary to Padstow, where harbourside cafés and galleries line the streets.
The South West Coast Path leads in both directions from Trewint. Head west along the rugged cliffs of Pentire Point and The Rumps, all the way to the quiet cove of Port Quin, or turn towards Rock for golden dunes, calm estuary waters and secret swimming spots.
Local cafés, shops and restaurants are all within easy reach. The Oystercatcher is just moments away for hearty meals and Cornish ales, while Flo’s Deli & Stores (formerly Trebetherick Stores) is just up the hill for fresh pastries, coffee and picnic supplies. Whether you’re planning a slow brunch, beachside lunch or dinner with friends, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy it all.
