Stay in a Cornish cottage by the sea on the romantic, rugged, and dramatic north coast with its sandy beaches, or the south & west coasts with their Mediterranean azure coloured waters that gently lap against the shores. Keep your eyes open for friendly seals and playful dolphins which frequent the shallows.

Start your day with a brisk early morning walk before breakfast, build up an appetite with the sunrise and be the first footprints on the beach. Let your lungs fill with the clean salty air blowing in from the ocean.

Paddle your feet in the waters and jump over the rolling waves. Hire a board and have a go at surfing or body boarding and discover a new favourite hobby. Explore the fascinating rock pools for their marine inhabitants, find mermaid's purses and listen for the sound of the ocean in seashells. Throw slimy seaweed at each other and hold sandcastle building competitions.

When the seas are big and angry and the white horses are galloping towards the shoreline, brace yourself against the Atlantic winds and let everyday worries blow away. In the evenings, take a blanket, share a bottle and have a romantic picnic whilst the sun sets, then go back to your welcoming and cosy holiday cottage. Where better to be by the sea than Cornwall?
