The Location

Inspired by the sounds of the early morning swell on your doorstep, early surfing ‘dawnies’, accompanied by the rising Cornish sun, are an energising way to begin your day on the North coast.

Plunge into the Atlantic on a wild swimming adventure – from tidal pools to secret coves, there are plenty of places for an endorphin-fuelled sea dip and Newquay has a brilliantly welcoming wild swimming crew that you can join at any time.

There can be little better than fresh air dining, wherever you are in the world. However our ultimate recipe involves a big, bold dash of sea air, jaw dropping views, a destination location, stunning design and some of the best chefs in the world – particularly when it comes to fish.

Luxury living and beachside action isn’t just for grown-ups; Cornwall’s brimming with big adventures for little people. Imagine your kids staring up at towering mussel-clad rock stacks, peering down at starfish in crystal-clear rock pools and jumping over foaming waves.

On rainy days, the underwater kingdoms at Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium are just like diving into the Finding Nemo film set. Your little ones will come face-to-face with all sorts of sea life from clown fish to a giant octopus. And you can all walk through an underwater tunnel beneath stingrays, reef sharks and turtles.

Cornwall isn’t all about donning your flip-flops and hitting the beach. There’s a smorgasbord of vibrant events celebrating music, art and maritime heritage.

Or, rub shoulders with literary stars and rock stars in a sprawling estate on the banks of the River Tamar. Spark your imagination, meet foodie wizards or dance till dawn in the high tops – Cornwall’s coolest festival is quirky, fun and creative.
