Southern Cornwall is a popular holiday destination and with over 300 beaches in the county, it’s worth the journey right to the very end of Britain. Cornwall is almost completely surrounding by water, 80% of it in fact, making it the county with the longest stretch of coastline in the UK – 697 kilometres in total. As such you’re never far away from the sea and wherever you go you’ll feel its influence.

There are over 300 self-catering properties across south Cornwall accommodating couples, families and groups. St Ives is a picturesque seaside town popular with artists thanks to its scenery and unique light. The town is a maze of narrow cobbled streets with inviting cafes, artists’ studios and craft shops to explore as well as a sandy beach. Nearby Penzance is a busy working town and the last major town before Land’s End, which itself is worth visiting for the photo opportunities and the dramatic landscape. There are numerous other seaside towns and villages worth visiting such as Looe, Hayle, Falmouth and Fowey. South Cornwall is also home to one of Britain’s best tourist attractions: The Eden Project near St Austell.
