Swimming
Enjoy some amazing wild swimming, an art deco lido or a traditional indoor pool.
Cornwall is the perfect place to discover some incredible coves and sheltered beaches for a dip in the sea. Why not try Stithians Lake, Carbis Bay or Gylly beach? The Lizard peninsula also has some super hidden spots where you’re unlikely to bump into another swimmer, although you might see a seal. Many of our local beaches have RNLI lifeguards too.
The Jubilee pool in Penzance is a fantastic day out – a lido in a stunning location with superb views over St Michael’s Mount.
If you’d prefer a flume, wave pools, slides or jacuzzi, we’d recommend the Ships and Castles Leisure Centre in Falmouth, just a few miles from Caddy’s. There are also several other pools and spas nearby, just let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll point you in the right direction. - Indoor & outdoor facilities available locally!

The South West coastal path can be accessed all around the coast and although many walk the whole route (630 miles!) you may choose to just pick a cliff walk, pub stroll or beach romp.
The coast is full of contrast and you’ll be surprised at how the coastal walks and scenery differ across the south, west and north of Cornwall.

Easy Days Out
Create some essential childhood memories of crabbing and sea life, pirate adventures and Cornish cream teas.
Crabbing competitions are a must and great fun for all the family. Flushing quay is the perfect spot to go and we can almost guarantee bacon bait will land you a catch!
You could also head on a fishing trip from Falmouth or take a ferry to explore the estuary, stopping off at some of Cornwall’s beautiful gardens as you go. The Smugglers Inn is a great cream tea stop after a pirate trip up the river. (Fancy dress recommended but not essential!)
There are some fabulous gardens in Cornwall, Trebah and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are particularly special. There are also some fantastic attractions to visit, Eden Project, Paradise Park and Heartlands will keep you busy for a whole day. Or why not head to Trevaskis farm, pick your own fruit and visit the farm animals, there are plenty of pigs, and sometimes piglets, calves and lambs to see. - Keep the variety !
