 Hi MGB .

I would recommend The Saint Ives area . It has everything you are asking The beaches are brilliant ,Fishing villages .Lots of pubs .  If you travel down thew coast to Zennon it Is very rugged and beachs good for surfing and lots of rock pools . You can travel over to the other coast in a short time to Pra Sands and Marizon . Everywhere In this area Is stunning .

Sorry cant recommend Campsites . Suggest you look at all UK Campsite reviews for this area.

Thanks Vic Wildish .

For correcting my bad spelling ." Whoops"  

Especially If putting Into a Sat Nav .  

MGB certainly wont find those places I wrongly gave . Ouch

Anyway .

I cant recommend St Ives for swimming now .

Apparently there have been reports of SHARK attacking fishing boats .

I love Porthtowan.  It's my Cornish secret and we go there out of season....very quiet.

---

Not 'too far away from us', then.  It's no secret in high season, I'm afraid.

---

I know.  I look most days on the Blue Bar webcam (saddo that I am!! ) and can see.   I wouldn't even attempt it in the Summer.  We go in Autumn/Winter and have been very lucky with the weather....we were sat on the terrace of the  Blue Bar dining in February!  Plus dogs can go on beach.

Thank you very much everyone for all the info.

I will let you know where  we end up .

thanks again,

John.

Well, we booked Tregarton near st austell. Almost booked River Valley nearby but it just looked too confined, and you have to pitch on gravel.

Would have preferred to stay further south but have a long enough drive back to the ferry home. But we will definitely take a day-trip down to st Ives, etc.

Thanks again everyone for your help,

John.

An evening visit to the Minack theatre is a must. Its a theatre carved out of the cliff face, between Penzance and lands end

we have just got back from sun valley holiday park in mawgan porth, one of the best site's we have been on in cornwall (and we have been going to cornwall for 20 years) everything was superb! you must check it out!

---

Sun Haven Valley used to be our favourite too until it was ruined by the new owners,£600 for 2 weeks in the summer is too much for us now and the last time we were there we had 4 days with no hot water,hope they have fixed it.

Get your wellys out if it rains heavy you are in the bottom of a valley next to a stream that floods.

We go to Carnevas now just up the road,much cheaper and nice friendly owners.
