Holywell Bay is one of Cornwall’s most family-friendly and beautiful coastal gems. Whether you’re up for building sandcastles, heading out for lovely walks, or simply unwinding by the waves, Holywell Bay is the perfect place to do it. And with our holiday park just a short stroll away, it’s never been easier to create so many memories in one place.
Holywell Bay Beach is Perfect for Families
Holywell Bay Beach is everything you could hope for in a seaside escape. Its golden sands stretch endlessly, backed by rolling dunes and the iconic Gull Rocks out at sea. No matter if you’re paddling in the waves or picnicking with your family, this wonderful beach is a genuine Cornish paradise.
If you didn’t know already, surfing is a big deal down this way. With consistent waves and a wide range of areas to explore, it’s perfect for beginners and families looking to try something new. Several local surf schools offer lessons, so why not book one and ride the waves together? At low tide, visit Holywell Cave in the cliffs to explore its hidden springs, fascinating rock formations, and also the Holy Well—which is a magical experience for visitors of all ages.
Adventures Beyond the Sand
There’s so much more to Holywell Bay than the beach. In fact, it’s the perfect destination for golf enthusiasts who will love Holywell Bay Golf. It offers three fun courses: a par 3, Pitch and Putt and Mini Golf, all providing the beautiful backdrop of the stunning Cornish coast, making it an enjoyable day out for all skill levels and age groups.
If you’re a fan of walking and exploring, the surrounding area won’t disappoint. The South West Coast Path offers countless opportunities to take in the beauty of Cornwall’s rugged cliffs and sea views. For example, the circular walk from Holywell Bay to Crantock, where you’ll pass hidden coves, enjoy breathtaking views, and potentially spot a few seals along the way.
Kelsey Head is another great spot for a family-friendly hike. The path leads to spectacular vistas and even features the remains of an Iron Age hillfort for a touch of history. Nature lovers should explore Penhale Sands, a vast dune system perfect for a wander and an impromptu picnic among wildflowers and wildlife.
Exciting Days Out Nearby
While Holywell Bay is a destination in itself, there’s so much to see and do nearby. Newquay is just a short drive away, offering attractions such as Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium, perfect for family outings.
For something truly unique, visit the Eden Project. Its iconic biomes house ecosystems from across the globe, making it both an educational and inspiring day out.
