Local Area
Set on Cornwall’s spectacular north coast, West Pentire offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, seaside charm, and endless opportunities for adventure. From sweeping sandy beaches to dramatic coastal trails and family-friendly attractions, this is a destination where every day brings something new to discover. Whether you’re drawn to the water for surfing and swimming, eager to explore hidden coves and historic sites, or simply looking to enjoy long scenic walks with breathtaking views, the local area has something for everyone.
Beaches
The nearest, Crantock Beach, is just a five-minute stroll from the apartment and is widely regarded as one of Cornwall’s most beautiful sandy bays. With lifeguard-patrolled swimming areas in the summer months, safe surf breaks, and dunes that stretch for miles, it’s the perfect beach for families and water lovers alike. A short drive brings you to Holywell Bay, known for its dramatic twin islets and wide open sands, or Fistral Beach in Newquay, the UK’s surf capital. Whether you prefer sunbathing, paddling with the kids, or catching waves, the local beaches offer endless variety.
Attractions
Cornwall is home to a wealth of family-friendly attractions and cultural landmarks. Just along the coast in Newquay, you’ll find Newquay Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium, and activity centres offering everything from surfing to paddleboarding. For a full day out, highlights include the world-famous Eden Project, the historic Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the dramatic island fortress of St Michael’s Mount. Families will also enjoy Lappa Valley Steam Railway, DairyLand Farm Park, and Crealy Adventure Park, while history and art lovers can explore Tate St Ives, Trerice Manor, or take in a performance at the iconic Minack Theatre.
Walks
West Pentire is a walker’s paradise, with the South West Coast Path passing right by the apartment. This renowned trail offers miles of dramatic clifftop scenery, where wildflowers bloom in summer and seabirds wheel overhead. A gentle stroll will take you around the headland to Polly Joke Beach, a secluded cove famed for its carpets of poppies in early summer. For longer adventures, follow the coast path towards Holywell Bay or Newquay, stopping to enjoy sweeping ocean vistas along the way. Inland, the Gannel Estuary provides a calmer setting for riverside walks rich in wildlife and birdlife.
