Nearby beaches
You simply can’t come to Cornwall without visiting the beach, and we’ve several on our doorstep. Kids of all ages will love the freedom of running around on the sand, exploring rock pools, building sandcastles, and paddling in the sea – it’s the perfect natural playground. You could even book the family in for some surf lessons.

Local days out
There are so many fantastic family-friendly attractions in Cornwall. Right on our doorstep, the historic harbour village of Charlestown is one of our favourite family days out. The world-famous Eden Project is also just down the road from us, offering a fun-packed calendar of events to entertain kids throughout the year.
Enjoy some fresh air
Gardens & forests
As well as the Eden Project, we always recommend a visit to the magical 200-acre Lost Gardens of Heligan just 15 minutes away. And a 30 minute drive away is Cardinham Woods with lots to offer families of all ages and abilities – whether you fancy a walk, a bike ride, barbecue or just a play area and a coffee.
What do you fancy?
Local food
From family-friendly restaurants to fantastic fish & chips, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to eating out in the area. Be sure to visit the child-friendly Longstore for lunch if you’re visiting Charlestown. And with one of the best sea views in Cornwall, the super relaxed Sam’s on the Beach in Polkerris is a great place to take to the kids for dinner.
Don't go anywhere
