    Best places to stay in Cornwall

    Anyone recommend a nice beach resort in Cornwall?

    Went to Newquay and it was full of hen/stag parties. Not nice.

    Maybe somewhere on the southern tip?

    Any views on nice beaches, quaint towns appreciated.

      How about Perranporth or St. Agnes. They are less touristy than Newquay

      Mousehole (prounounced mowzole) is a small fishing villiage. It doesn't have much of a beach.

      Do you think people who pack the confectionary into boxes at fudge making factories tell people what they do for a living?

        Stayed on the Lizard (sorry Zeity) for 6 weeks when at Uni. Lovely part of the world.

          Padstow. Visitr Rick Steins seafood place.
          I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            Woolacombe & Croyde are both very nice clean & quiet beach resorts with good pubs for hearty food, Watergate bay is also nice but Jamie Oliver's 15 restaurant is attracting too many tourists, all these are on the north coast though.

              St Ives is lush. Barbara Hepworth museum and the Tate are there if you are into that kind of thing. If you go down that far then you can do the rugged north coast cliffs and beaches (my family comes from Zennor, very bleak and beautiful this time of year) and also do the beaches on the south coast, Praa Sands and the like.

              Great time of year to go down, not too many emmets .

                I love St Ives too ... and also Boscastle but it's only fishing village and doesn't have its own beach, plus you have to be careful of flash foods.

                Should be a problem for super swimmers like you though prawny
