As the name suggests Baby Bay is so small and cute you could just put it in your pocket! For a change of tempo from the hustle, bustle and surfer vibes of the main beach, Baby Bay is a beacon of tranquillity and undiscovered by many. Here are our top reasons to visit Baby Bay.
The location
Officially known as Pentireglaze Haven but fondly nicknamed 'Baby Bay' by locals, this small inlet is separated from Polzeath at high tide and can be accessed via an amble down the pretty coast path from New Polzeath. This is the ideal place to enjoy time away from the crowds whether it's a relaxed beach day together or a romantic evening stroll.
The beach
Sheltered by headlands to either side, Baby Bay offers a calm refuge for beach bonfires and barbecues. Spend quality time with friends and family sharing tales of the day gone by as the flames flicker and the marshmallows toast away. Like Polzeath beach, dogs are welcome out of season from 01 October to Easter Sunday.
Baby Bay is just a short stroll away and here you can enjoy a beach barbecue
The water
The waters of Baby Bay are calmer than neighbouring Polzeath, making it the ideal spot for a morning swim or snorkel with just the gulls for company or indulging in the British heritage of bellyboarding. It is also a fantastic location to launch paddleboards or kayaks if you don't mind carrying them down the coast path!

The sunsets
Enjoy the famous Polzeath sunset from the headland overlooking Baby Bay. Take a blanket and thermos with you and settle in for the spectacular sight of the sky turning orange and pink as it melts into the ocean. You are in for a real treat if the local artist has paid a visit and created some beautiful beach art for you to enjoy from above.
The coastal path
The coast path that runs along the back of the beach climbs up to the dizzying heights of Pentire Point. The climb is rewarded with spectacular view back towards Polzeath and the Camel Estuary. Keep your eye out for seals and dolphins in the water below. Keep walking and you will stumble upon The Rumps, a fantastic rock formation that is well worth seeing.
