Beach day
You don’t need to leave the county, let alone the country, to make the most of amazing beaches when you live in Cornwall.
Choose from over 300 of them and brave the sea with a swim or surf, build a sandcastle, read a book, have a walk - or simply sit and watch the sunset or even a dramatic storm.

Family fun
Exploring Cornwall with the kids is great fun with plenty of things to do and see – with the much-appreciated bonus of short car journeys and fewer rounds of I-spy or choruses of ‘are we there yet?’
Get wet at the beach with a family surf lesson, or explore the magical myths and legends at fascinating places like Tintagel Castle or Chysauster.
