Cornwall is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the UK. Thanks to its unique position on the south west peninsula, 80% of the county is surrounded by water, making for the longest stretch of coastline in the UK at 697km. Wherever you are in Cornwall a stroll across the sand or a game of beach rounders is only a maximum of 16 miles away. And with over 300 beaches to choose from you never have to visit the same one twice.
