It is approximately {{convert|6|mi}} north west of Wadebridge on the Atlantic coast.[2] Polzeath has a sandy beach and is popular with holiday-makers and surfers. The beach is {{convert|1500|ft|m}} wide and extends {{convert|1200|ft|m}} from the seafront at low water; however, most of the sand is submerged at high water.[2] At exceptionally high spring tides the sea floods the car park at the top of the beach. Polzeath beach is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer and is described on the RNLI website as : ... a wide, flat beach with some shelter from winds, it sees good quality surf and is quite often extremely crowded.[3] Dolphins may sometimes be spotted in the bay and the coastline north of Polzeath is a good area for seeing many types of birds including corn buntings and puffins.[4] The main street runs along the seafront and has a parade of shops catering for holidaymakers and residents. There are pubs, cafés, restaurants, a caravan site and several camping sites in the immediate area. The road rises up steep hills at both ends of the seafront; towards the village of Trebetherick to the southwest and New Polzeath to the northeast.[2] The South West Coast Path runs from Daymer Bay in the South through Polzeath and up to Pentire Head in the North.[5] HistoryIn 1911 a Methodist chapel was built on the road towards Trebetherick at Chapel Corner. The original building was demolished in 1932 when the village street was widened. A new village hall was opened on 15 April 1933.[6] A stream rises near St Minver {{convert|2|mi}} to the south. Before reaching Polzeath, it is joined by a tributary which rises north of Pityme. Shilla Mill at the edge of Polzeath, stands at the confluence of the streams.[2] Built around 1590 it ceased working as a mill in 1885 and was converted into a house. Until 1934 the main street through the village crossed the stream by means of a ford. A footbridge was provided for pedestrians which was sometimes washed away by winter storms. In 1934 the road bridge was built. The winter storms of 2014 changed the topography of the beach and there is now a sand bar across the beach.[7][8] EconomyTourism developed in the 19th and 20th centuries to be the most significant part of the local economy.[9] UK Prime minister David Cameron and his wife holidayed there from 2010 to 2015.[10] Literary associationsPolzeath was a favourite haunt of the poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman, and is celebrated in some of his verse.[11] Another poet, Laurence Binyon, wrote the Remembrance Day ode For the Fallen in 1914 while sitting on The Rumps, Polzeath or "Polseath" as it was called, during World War I. In the first of Enid Blyton's Famous Five novels, the eponymous children express disappointment that their holiday will not, as usual, be spent at Polzeath.[12] The author Joolz Denby lived in a caravan in Polzeath for a year while researching her novel Borrowed Light, published in 2006.{{cn|date=August 2015}} The cartoonist Posy Simmonds created a fictitious place in Cornwall called "Tresoddit". When the BBC made the short film Tresoddit for Easter in 1991, it was filmed in and around Polzeath. See also
