One of our favourite parts of summer is grabbing our hiking boots and swimsuits and hitting the Cornish coast path. Combining a gorgeous sea swim in a quiet and secret cove with a stomp along the south west coast path in the sunshine is the perfect day out. So here are our favourite Cornish coastal path walks with swims...
So far spring has been a soggy old time in Cornwall this year. We're fed up with waiting for the sun to shine, so we've taken the stance that if it's wet, get wetter! With all our beautiful coastline, there is plenty of fun to be had in and on the water, so let's go and get wetter...
If the weather isn't on our side this summer (and it hasn't been great for weeks now!), it can sometimes be too rough or chilly to swim in the sea. This is where sea pools come to the rescue! These amazing pools are built into the rocks on the shore around the coast of Cornwall and fill with natural sea water at the highest tides. They are often much warmer than the sea as they've had a chance to warm up, so they are gorgeous places to swim. Your own private pool with the best sea views!
Cornwall reaches peak fun during the summer holidays! There is always so much going on that you can find something fun to do every day, and that's before you even start to explore the amazing beaches, watersports and coastline!
We all know the usual big hitters every summer, from Falmouth Week to Boardmasters, but we've rounded up the less well known events so you can plan some unique summer fun!
There is so much more to Cornwall than beautiful beaches. Over 10,000 years of human history lie waiting to be discovered. From the Celts to the Romans and even Arthurian legends, people have long been part of the landscape of Cornwall and what they have left behind is fascinating to uncover.
This spring why not get out and about and have a go at exploring the ancient sites in Cornwall.
One of our favourite things about this time of year is hot chocolate! The merest hint of a chill in the air and we're swapping our coffee for hot chocolates. From cold toes to a bad day, a hot chocolate can fix all sorts of ills, it's no wonder the Mayans saw hot chocolate as for the gods!

We all know and love the Camel Trail, but did you know Cornwall is covered in a network of other amazing cycle trails? There is even one that runs right behind our shop! It's a fantastic way to see the county, get out and explore new places and travel carbon free. Not a fan of bikes? All these trails are also great for walking. Here's our guide to Cornwall's best cycle trails...
We know lots of people are still a bit nervous to travel abroad because of Covid, and of course the recent airport chaos and price hikes haven't helped either.

Pack that swimsuit, grab a towel and get ready for a day on a perfect beach...
