Family-Friendly Fun at Porth Beach
A guide to keeping kids entertained in and around the park
Planning a family holiday by the sea? Porth Beach Holiday Park is a fantastic choice for parents and kids alike, offering a mix of seaside adventure, outdoor fun, and easy access to some of Cornwall’s best family attractions. Whether you’ve got toddlers, teens or a mix of ages, here’s how to keep everyone happy during your stay.
Beach Days Made Easy
Just steps from the park, Porth Beach is a family favourite for a reason. It’s a gently sloping sandy bay with a stream running across the beach, perfect for paddling, dam-building, and a spot of sandcastle engineering. At low tide, kids can explore the rock pools for crabs and sea anemones, while parents relax with a coffee or join in the fun.
Top tip: Don’t forget your nets, buckets and spades – they’ll get plenty of use!
On-Site Family Convenience
While the park keeps things simple and peaceful, it’s designed with families in mind. Spacious accommodation, easy beach access, and on-site laundry facilities make life easier when you’re holidaying with little ones. Bring scooters, footballs or kites for some good old-fashioned outdoor play
Coastal Walks for All Ages
The South West Coast Path is right on your doorstep and offers manageable walks suitable for children. Take a short walk up to Trevelgue Head for panoramic views and a bit of history (ancient clifftop settlements included!). It’s a mini-adventure with a big reward at the top.
Days Out They’ll Love
If you’re heading off-site, there’s no shortage of family attractions nearby:
- Newquay Zoo (10 minutes away): Home to over 1,000 animals and plenty of interactive exhibits.
- Blue Reef Aquarium: Situated right on Towan Beach, it’s a great rainy-day option.
- Camel Creek Adventure Park: Just a short drive inland, packed with rides, animals, and indoor play areas.
- Lappa Valley: Ideal for younger kids who love trains and gentle countryside fun.
Surf Schools & Water Sports
For older kids and teens, why not try a surf lesson or bodyboarding session at nearby Watergate Bay or Fistral Beach? There are plenty of surf schools catering to beginners, and it’s a brilliant way to build confidence in the water.
Local Ice Cream & Treats
Let’s be honest. No family holiday is complete without ice cream! You’ll find plenty of places nearby serving locally made treats. And if the weather turns, cosy cafés and kid-friendly pubs offer great spots to warm up with hot chocolate and cake.
Simple Pleasures Make the Best Memories
Sometimes it’s the low-key moments that become the most treasured – flying a kite on the beach, spotting dolphins in the surf, or sharing fish and chips as the sun goes down. Porth Beach is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy quality time together.
