With summer just around the corner, there’s still time to book a break by the sea. You just can’t beat the holiday tradition of spending sunny days with the sand between your toes, feeling the refreshing salty breeze on your skin and looking at miles of golden beach stretched out before you.
Seaside staycations available from self-catering holiday expert Landal include these three coastal gems in Cornwall below, which are just steps from the shore.
Landal Whalesborough Resort & Spa, Cornwall
Take a family break on the Cornish coast at Landal Whalesborough Resort & Spa. Little ones will love the summer tractor safaris and the chance to meet resident animals including chickens and alpacas at our on-site farm. Learn about wildlife in the adventure playground and then cool off with a dip in one of two swimming pools. After a busy day with the kids, parents can relax with some well-earned me-time at the spa, sauna and steam room.
Surrounded by hundreds of acres of stunning countryside and sandy Cornish beaches nearby, there’s so much to explore. Head down to Summerleaze Beach for rockpooling, sandcastles, swimming and surfing, or visit the 13th Century ruins of Tintagel Castle steeped in the legend of King Arthur.
A three-night break for a family of four in July costs from £1009
Landal Leycroft Valley, Cornwall
A great location for a quiet getaway in stunning forest surroundings, Landal Leycroft Valley is the perfect base for exploring the best of North Cornwall. As a dog-friendly resort, you can bring your furry friend along for fun days out and beach walks. Follow the South West Coast Path for incredible scenery and wildlife spotting. Take in the views and stop for delicious fish and chips in one of the quaint villages along the route.
Summer is always action-packed in Cornwall. Catch a wave with a local surf school or take a gentle horse ride along the beach. It’s just a short walk down to Perranporth Beach which boasts three miles of golden sands as well as The Watering Hole, the UK’s only beach bar and a live music venue.
A four-night break for a family of four in July costs from £599
Landal Dylan Coastal Resort, Wales
Head to wonderful Wales for an idyllic couples’ retreat at Landal Dylan Coastal Resort. Indulge in the Milk Wood House spa and wellness facilities with herbal steam sauna, soak in the Roman bath or swim in the indoor infinity pool, then get cosy around a beach-side fire pit to watch the sunset. Each lodge has been specially designed to showcase captivating views including looking over the Taf Estuary from your own private hot tub.
Venture out for a stroll along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to see the iconic Stack Rocks standing proudly just off the shore and head to St Govan’s Chapel for old tales of pirates. For poets and history lovers, a visit to nearby Laugharne Castle – home of legendary poet and writer Dylan Thomas – is a must.
