THE BEACHES
Summer is the perfect time to see the beautiful beaches in Cornwall in all their glory. You can take a day trip to visit the popular beaches or try to find one of the beautiful more hidden coves to escape the crowds and enjoy the white sands like Lantic Bay or Porth Joke. And if you want to unwind after a long day of exploring Cornwall’s many golden sands, then why not book one of these hot tub lodges for that extra special treat.
