Watergate Bay Hotel
Newquay, Cornwall
You step off the terrace straight onto two miles of sand. Little ones disappear happily into the free Kids' Zone while you swim lengths looking out at the surf, then everyone meets up for a lesson with the beach school. Family suites with their own bunk rooms mean bedtime doesn't end your evening.

Zoo · nearby attraction
A small, leafy zoo set in subtropical gardens, easy to cover in half a day with little ones. Lemurs, penguins and red pandas are the stars, and it slots neatly between beach sessions on a Cornwall break.

Nature / outdoors · nearby attraction
Giant biomes hold a rainforest with a canopy walkway and a Mediterranean garden, set in a former clay pit. Children love the scale and the play areas; it is a Cornwall essential whatever the weather.
