Traditional seaside charm and stunning scenery in an unspoilt, secluded part of Cornwall: it is easy to see why holidays in Cawsand are the county’s best-kept secret. This is the bit of Cornwall you never hear about, which most holidaymakers all nip past on the A38 for pastures pricier and posher. But just over the Tamar Bridge on the wild Rame Peninsula nestles the fishing village of Cawsand and its neighbour, Kingsand. Straight out of Enid Blyton, the pretty holiday homes on Cawsand’s higgledy streets face out over the blue expanse of Plymouth Sound.
Head down to the long sand-and-shingle beach for great picnicking, swimming, rockpooling and paddleboarding – watch out for peregrines and buzzards and even the occasional pod of dolphins. You should be able to lure the family off the beach with the promise of an indulgent cream tea at The Old Bakery, and a well-timed trip could include the chance to take their one-day sourdough bread-making course.
Cawsand Bay shelters many a boat and, in the past, attracted smugglers as it was so close to Plymouth. Navy vessels also moored here, giving rise to the several pubs, which serve good food, such as the Halfway House and the Devonport.
The extraordinary beaches at Whitsand Bay, accessible only via a steep cliff path, are perfect for surfing, rockpooling and sandcastle building. Head to Mount Edgcumbe and Port Eliot for beautiful grounds to idle in and catch the Cremyll Ferry over to Plymouth to explore the naval town’s Royal William Yard, with its collection of independent boutiques, galleries and restaurants.
If walking is preferred, breathtaking coastal pathways take hikers south, around the stunning Rame Head, with its sparkling sea views. On a clear day, keep an eye out for birds, seals and the iconic Eddystone Lighthouse, still keeping a watchful lookout over boats in the surrounding waters.
A warm climate, clean air and the smell of the sea: this is what holidays in Cawsand are made of.
