More about the Cornwall coast

Beach huts along the Cornwall coast

Cornwall has one of the most varied coastlines in Britain. On one side you've got wide Atlantic beaches with rolling surf and open skies. On another, tucked-away bays with calmer water, fishing boats and a slower pace. It never feels flat or forgettable. Even the drive to the beach usually feels like part of the day out.

Beach huts and chalets aren't everywhere here, but where they do appear they make a lot of sense. Bude is a natural fit, with its broad sands and proper seaside feel. St Ives has the kind of setting people picture when they think of a Cornish beach holiday, all bright water and golden light. And around Hayle and Newquay, the appeal is obvious: space, sea, and enough going on nearby to make a full day of it.

Cornwall suits people who want more than just a strip of sand and a row of huts. It feels wilder than the south coast. More textured. And on a good day, when the sun's out and the sea goes that clear blue-green colour, it can be hard to beat.
