The ferry from Rock to Padstow runs roughly every 20 minutes and takes 5-10 minutes to do the journey. The views are great and kids love the experience.
Go window shopping
Padstow is home to a lot of clothes shops like Joules, Seasalt and White Stuff but the chances are your kids won’t be a massive fan of those. Kids will really enjoy having a look into the windows of the places they will find interesting, asking about the different fish for sale in the fishmongers, looking at the huge paintings inside a gallery There’s also plenty of boats in the harbour and it’s fun to look at their names and where they are from or hunting for the biggest boat
Go to a food market
There is great little food and craft market near to the main car park in Padstow. Go and check out some local food the kids will love having little bits to try.
Go on a sea cruise
Boats like the Jubilee Queen run hour long cruises from Padstow that give you and the kids a chance to see some of the fabulous wildlife around Cornwall which can include dolphins, seals or even basking sharks.
Eat some chips
The Rick Stein Café is in the centre of town and is one of the most kid friendly cafes with crayons and colouring sheets on hand as well as food kids would actually eat which is pretty much unheard of.
Have a run around on the beach
There are several beaches in Padstow or if you’ve taken the ferry over then the beach at
Rock is great for playing on too. Perfect for kicking a ball about on, flying a kite or getting busy with a bucket and spade.
