Yellow Sands is situated just 200 yards from Harlyn Bay a superb
sandy beach, renowned for safe bathing and good surfing. Padstow,
three miles away, is the focal point of this unspoilt coastal area.
The centuries old, picturesque fishing harbour town has an almost
magical charm with plenty to see and do for all age groups.
Padstow celebrates the arrival of summer on May 1st each year in
great style with the "obby oss" processions through the town (something
not to be missed) from Prideaux Place, an Elizabethan mansion and
Deer Park open to the public, around the harbour to the may pole.
Christmas is also special. with the harbour lit up with festive
lights. The quay is a hive of activity in the summer. There are
pubs; cafes and excellent restaurants, some with Michelin stars
and some wonderful little shops to wander around.
Within the locality there are a wide variety of pastimes including
sea fishing trips; pleasure cruises along the coast and around the
small islands as well as speed boat trips. The estuary is a haven
for sailing; windsurfing and water-skiing.
For walkers or cyclist there is the camel trail and coastal path,
the golfer is also catered for with two championship courses, one
within a mile of Yellow Sands. In Addition you will find pony trekking,
theme parks, tennis, swimming pools, go-carts and even parachute
jumps available.
All areas of Cornwall can be reached within an hour for daytrips
and sightseeing, including the Eden Project.
