Polzeath is home to the Voluntary Marine Wildlife Reserve.
Polzeath is also a dog free beach from Easter Day to October 1st. Polzeath and Daymer were favourite haunts of the late poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman, who lays at St Enodoc, and is celebrated in some of his verse. 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 then called.
Enid Blyton's Famous Five children were upset that their holiday would not be spent at Polzeath as was the norm. The authoress Joolz Denby lived in a caravan in Polzeath for a year while researching her novel Borrowed Light. The novel is largely set in Polzeath, though the town's name is changed to Polwenna to allow artistic licence with locations and buildings. The cartoonist Posy Simmonds created a fictitious place in Cornwall called Tresoddit. In 1991 the BBC made a short film "Tresoddit" that was filmed in and around Polzeath.
