The crescent-shaped beach sits on the Cornish coastline with low cliffs, turquoise waters and is surrounded by vibrant greenery. At the edges of the beach, there are also great coastal walks with rich wildlife. Many visitors love this spot for water sports, such as kayaking and paddle-boarding. And the beach has a welcoming pub too, called The Rashleigh Inn. The waterhole sits right by the sand, overlooking the shoreline. Alternatively, visitors can head to Sam's on the Beach - a relaxed bistro serving up fish dishes in a former RNLI lifeboat station. One recent visitor said: "This is a lovely little beach cove." Another visitor said: "Nice small harbour beach, very popular with families, with soft sand for the kids. "Plenty of interesting rock pools revealed by the receding tide. Pub With A 'Floating' Beer Garden By The Beach "Sam's bar serves great seafood dishes, the lobster and scallop dishes were both fresh, a good portion and reasonably priced." Set back just 120 metres from the beach, there is also Polkerris Holidays - a family-run static caravan park - in case you wanted to extend your stay. The village itself is also only two miles from the Eden Project, which can even be reached by foot - if you are feeling adventurous - via walking through the expansive Luxulyan Valley. The valley contains a pretty woodland, split by the River Par. 5 Many visitors love the beach for watersports and there are many walking trails around the beach Credit: Alamy 5 There is even a pub - The Rashleigh Inn - located at the beach Credit: Alamy Due to it being home to industrial remains from the 19th century, including viaducts - the valley was named a World Heritage Site in 2006. Then 3.5 miles from village, visitors can find St Austell - a popular town among tourists with many different attractions to explore. To get to Par, the village has its own railway station, which is on the mainline between Paddington and Penzance. The region also boasts many different places to stay such as camping and glamping sites or the prestigious Trenython Manor - a country estate built in 1872 and set in 24-acres. Here's how to do pricey Cornwall on a budget thanks to Hols from £9.50 – with world's best beach and fish and chips for under £5.
