Things to do on site and in the Penzance area
You can walk to Praa Sands beach which has a surf school, seafront bar and restaurant, as well as a beachside cafe (perfect for breakfast). The beach has its own lifeguards.
Numerous tourist destinations are within easy reach, including St Michael's Mount, the fishing village of Porthleven with its many pubs and restaurants, artistic St Ives, Lands End and the Minack Theatre. West Cornwall also has a rich mining history with various visitor attractions including the Geevor Tin Mine and the Telegraph Museum at Porthcurno.
For all you plant lovers, you will be spoilt for choice with nine exotic Cornish gardens within a fifteen mile radius. The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and many others are further afield for an easy day trip. There are also several good plant retail outlets close by including Trevenna Cross Nurseries, Surreal Succulents and The Hardy Exotic Nursery.
Across the road is an eight hole golf course which welcomes temporary members.
There are many great places to eat and drink in the area especially in Porthleven and Falmouth.
Marazion is a short drive away and a must visit. Explore St Michael's Mount via the causeway or via boat when the tide is in - it's awesome! The golden sands at St Ives are also a must, with many bars and eateries, plus the Tate. Try a seal watching trip from the harbour there.
There are many surfing beaches around here as well as good swimming, so it's a good all round mix. Lands End and the Lizard offer spectacular scenery, no matter what the weather does.
If you're feeling really adventurous, get a boat or plane to the Isles of Scilly.
