Springtime is often the best time for a holiday or short break in Cornwall. As the sun starts to shine, the sea warms up and the flowers and foliage wake from their winter slumber, the county literally springs back to life. It can be incredibly beautiful and also peacefully quiet before the busy summer season kicks in. If you want quiet beaches, sparkling scenery and the run of attractions and early season events - spring is the time to come.

The spring flowers are budding, bunnies are hopping, lambs are leaping and the shops are filling up with chocolate eggs. It’s not long now until the Easter holidays in Cornwall. Easter is the first big holiday of the season here in Perranporth and throughout Cornwall. It’s a time when families make the most of the school holidays to take a break in the far South West. Some come for a long weekend, while others stay for a week or two to indulge in Cornish beach life and springtime scenery.
