As stay-cations rise in popularity, Family Surf Co. is creating bespoke itineraries for families on holiday in Cornwall.
Home to the UK’s surfing capital of Newquay, Cornwall’s stunning coastline is littered with beach breaks. With surf schools aplenty, good quality surfing kit for hire, lifeguarded beaches, mellow summer waves and a thriving family beach scene, it’s one of our favourite spots for a family surf trip. While the North Coast is best known for consistent waves, we also know some quality breaks on the South Coast that are perfect for beginners and stormy weather.
When you book a holiday with Family Surf Co. we’ll send you a personalised family surfing guide to Cornwall.
While pasties and ice cream are still part of a quintessential Cornish beach holiday, Cornwall’s undergone a foodie revolution in recent years. Now you can feast on delicious seasonal ingredients in swanky seafront restaurants that welcome sandy feet and crazy kids. Menus are built to stoke your energy before and after surf sessions – from fresh smoothies and superfood salads, to juicy burgers and just-caught seafood.
