Exploring the Cornish coast this autumn

From quieter beaches to dramatic sunsets, there are plenty of reasons why autumn is a fantastic time to escape to Cornwall. Here are some of our favourite ways to enjoy the Cornish coast during this magnificent time of year.

Photography 

Photographers will not be short of opportunities for capturing the changing colours as autumn arrives. As well as the leaves turning from bright green to beautiful shades of red and brown, you’ll find dramatic sunsets painted across the skies.

Our favourite photo spot: The view of St. Ives Bay from our lawn

Surfing

Believe it or not, autumn is a popular time for hitting the waves. The sea is still warm from the summer months, the beaches are quieter, and there are plenty of waves that promise an adrenaline rush for seasoned surfers.

Our favourite beach for surfing: Porthmeor Beach

Afternoon tea

There’s no better way to savour a traditional taste of Cornwall than a delicious afternoon tea. Indulge with a delicious selection of homemade scones, sandwiches, sweet treats and your choice of tea or coffee.

Beach combing

Cornwall’s beaches are the perfect place to discover hidden treasures. Tucked between the sand and shells, it’s not uncommon to discover sea glass which has been smoothed by the waves, driftwood, sea-life, and shells.

Our favourite place for beach combing: Harbour Beach

Heritage sites 

Cornwall is home to a variety of fascinating heritage sites including ancient castles and historic houses. If you’re eager to learn more about the county’s incredible history, be sure to visit destinations such as St Michael’s Mount and Godolphin.

Discover the majestic beauty of Cornwall yourself this autumn with a stay in one of our hotel rooms or self-catering properties.

Recycle and Charity Initiative

30 August 2023

Chris from our maintenance team has been making a difference again this year! With the main summer holiday season behind us, St Ives over the course of spring and summer always  sees lots of surfboards, wind breaks, and other beach items being left behind by visitors after they leave. Instead of these items being binned, we've encouraged guests who don't want to take these items home with them to give these items a new life at a local caravan park.
