A spring reset by the sea
Up to 20% off week-long stays, 15% off short breaks and a £100 R.Place voucher
Longer days, lighter evenings and the first real warmth of spring on the sand. Easter on the Cornish coast marks the shift in seasons – wildlife comes out to play and coast paths brighten with wildflowers.
To celebrate, we’re offering up to 20% off week-long stays and 15% off short breaks at selected Beach Retreats properties this Easter. And because a spring escape deserves a little style, we’ll also include a £100 voucher for R. Place with any stay of seven nights or more. R. Place is an independent lifestyle store opposite Porth Beach known for its mix of menswear, womenswear, homeware and coastal lifestyle brands – with a modern take on fashion by the sea.
The details
Pack light – you might find the perfect spring staple, an easy layer for breezy beach walks, or something new for sunset drinks by the water. Browse their curated collection online before your trip, or visit the store while you’re here.
Choose a full week by the sea, settling into the rhythm of slow coastal days, or opt for a shorter break filled with fresh sea swims, sandy dog walks and long lunches overlooking the beach. However long you stay, do it in style this year.

NATIONAL TRUST
From bare branches to fresh leaves and new blooms. The National Trust’s various properties and gardens come into their own in spring, with many places putting on Easter egg hunts for children through their grounds. Wander through time in ancient houses and estates, spot wildlife amongst protected expanses of land or feast the eyes on exotic gardens. Easter is an excellent time to visit- the warming weather invites strolling and picnicking at a leisurely pace, whilst the new season means that the landscapes and foliage are all beginning to blossom with the promise of sunshine ahead.
ROCKPOOLING
As the tide draws out, landscapes of rockpools are revealed on many Cornish beaches, mapping out a new world which can only be explored for a limited time. Hear the fizz of barnacles as the waves retreat and watch the ripples of sea creatures as they scramble beneath the water. Keep an eye out for the range of unique sea life which can be found- the Cornish Sucker fish, Worm Pipefish and the Common Shore Crab. Don’t forget a bucket to collect shells, sea glass and any other treasures you may find dotted amongst the pools.
EDEN EASTER EGG HUNT
The Eden Project is on Cornwall’s essential tick list and is an experience that must be seen to be believed. Rich in exotic plants, unusual sculptures and educational features, Eden is an impressive eco project with sustainability at its heart. Dubbed the eighth wonder of the world by some, this dramatic global garden is housed in tropical biomes the size of 30 football pitches. Trek through the rainforest biome, passing 1000 species of tropical plants, towards the running waterfall or the suspended canopy walkway, or dine in the Mediterranean biome amongst spiky cacti and ancient olive trees.
FORAGING
Make the most of the Spring sunshine and get out and about with a forage that will take you deep into Cornwall’s woodlands, hedgerows and on the coast. Cornwall is rich in produce, and you can easily harvest the flavours of the earth and the ocean, making cooking up a storm in your self-catering kitchen simple. From Cornish mussels and rose chips to wild herbs and edible plants, you’ll find plenty of wild foods harnessing the taste of the county.
