Easy, flexible coastal strolls
We love “walk a bit, stop for a view, turn back whenever you fancy”. Perfect around Talland Bay, Polperro and Fowey.
- Go earlier for quieter paths and easier parking.
- Bring a layer — it can change quickly on the coast.
- Pack water (and a flask for sunset stops).
Photo spots
Golden hour by the sea is unbeatable — viewpoints and harbour edges make perfect “holiday memories” shots.
- Sunset: cliffs + coves (with safe distances).
- Harbours: Fowey, Polruan and Mevagissey are lovely.
- Woodland: Heligan is a calm, sheltered option.
🧒 Things to do with kids
Simple ideas that turn an ordinary day into a “remember when…” holiday moment.
Beach-day mini adventures
- Rockpool bingo: crab, tiny fish, shells, seaweed.
- Sandcastle challenge: tallest tower / best moat.
- Treasure hunt: smoothest pebble, best “heart” stone.
- Sunset hot chocolate (bring a flask!).
Easy-win family days
- Eden Project + a beach stop on the way home.
- Heligan + harbour wander in Mevagissey.
- Fowey/Polruan + a short viewpoint walk.
- Windy day? Choose gardens/woodland for shelter.
