Trevone Beach – (one of our personal favourite Cornish Beach’s)
Near to Padstow one of only 8 Blue Flag Beach’s in 2019. Popular with surfers, excellent for walking & marine wildlife and with a beautiful golden sandy beach. Its popular for that reason get there early for parking which is close to the beach Trevone also has a small café and shop.
Porthmeor Beach
A blue flag beach situated in the shadow of the iconic Tate St Ives building, Porthmeor is sandy, safe beach popular with surfers and swimmers alike. In an ideal location just a stone’s throw from the centre of St Ives where you’ll find pubs, trendy cafes and a great variety of shops. A perfect place for a beach picnic so you can easily get all you need from the town.
Gyllyngvase Beach
Falmouth – Family friendly, buggy friendly also great amenities, good access, good for water sports and a 10-minute walk from Falmouth town centre. (also 1 of the 8 blue flag beaches)
Towan Beach
At the heart of Newquay, one of the liveliest resorts in Cornwall, at the bottom of a steeply sloping hill. The beach is bordered to the west by the harbour and at the east by ‘the Island’ a towering rocky outcrop called which is connected to the mainland by a suspension footbridge.
Sennan Cove Lands’ End.
Some days huge blue rollers head towards the shore making Sennen Cornwall’s most westerly surf hotspot, in contrast other days the tides out and the wide golden sands certainly provide plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The small harbour with its lifeboat station and art galleries is great for those days when the sun is in hiding. Out of season we have enjoyed a hot chocolate sat on the balcony by the beach watching the surfers do their ‘thing’.
Sennen Cove’s friendly atmosphere makes for a relaxed day at the beach in one of the UK’s most breath-taking location. If you hire one of our classic VW campervans because they are not much wider than a normal family car therefore are at home on the smaller roads around Cornwall.
