Marazion’s beaches are a dream for anyone who enjoys fun on the sand and in the water, and whether you’re a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, its beach-based surf school will help you take to the surf.

Closer still is Penzance where you’ll find Jubilee Pool, the UK's largest Art Deco pool boasting a sea water lido and a geothermal heated pool.

Further down the coast from Penzance is the up-and-coming fishing port of Newlyn where you can visit art galleries, peruse independent shops and sample some fantastic seafood, while magical Mousehole (one of Cornwall’s prettiest villages) is the next spot along the coast and a must-visit place during your stay. The National Trust-owned Godolphin House with its expansive 500-acre woodlands and scenic walks is within easy reach along with Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, Trengwainton Gardens, and Polgoon Vineyard.
