Porthcothan Bay itself features endless golden sands and is a great starting point for coastal cliff path walks, while Trevose Golf Club, located just three miles away, provides a championship 18-hole course for golf enthusiasts. Local attractions include the charming seaside town of Padstow, known for crabbing, local pasties, and the National Lobster Hatchery, alongside a selection of eateries by renowned chef Rick Stein.
The stunning Cornish coastline offers numerous beaches perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and water-skiing, with Newquay recognized as the UK's surfing capital, particularly at Fistral Beach, which hosts the annual Boardmasters International Surf Competition.

A short drive leads to the Eden Project in St. Austell, where families can explore tropical biomes and learn about climate sustainability. Additionally, a day trip to St. Ives presents a chance to appreciate local culture at the Tate Gallery and explore artisan shops, making this property a perfect base for experiencing the diverse attractions of Cornwall.
