Atlantic Terrace in New PolzeathNew Polzeath (Cornish: Pollsygh Nowydh) is a coastal settlement immediately north-east of Polzeath in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately five miles (8 KM) north-northwest of Wadebridge at grid reference SW 935 794[1].
The main street in New Polzeath is Atlantic Terrace which faces across the bay. The terrace was built in 1898[2]. The area of New Polzeath inland of the terrace was developed later. An estate of holiday homes was built in the last few years. The National Trust owns land to the west and north of New Polzeath and this curtails further development.
New Polzeath has access to Polzeath beach at low water; there is also access to Pentireglaze beach, a smaller beach.
The road to New Polzeath connects with the road into Polzeath over a mile east of the villages so although the places are contiguous, driving between them means a two-mile trip.
