When was the last time you and your partner went away for a romantic getaway, even just for a weekend?
Taking time out to spend quality time together, without the kids and any other distractions you have, can do wonders for both of you as individuals and as a couple.
With this in mind, we wanted to show you a few coastal havens you could explore together, hand in hand, on your next couple holidays UK to Cornwall.
Porthcurno Beach
If you’re searching for a tropic-like beach in the UK, look no further than Porthcurno Beach. With its near-whitesands, crystal clear blue and turquoise waters, tall and rugged granite cliffs, and a long stretch of beach, it would be easy to mistake yourselves into thinking you were somewhere tropical, like the Caribbean.
If you look closer at the sands, you’ll notice that there’s something rather special to be discovered –the sands along this shoreline are made from seashells that have been pounded to smithereens over millions of years, creating a unique and beautiful look.
Kynance Cove
If it’s a tropical nook you’re searching for your romantic getaway, Kynance Cove could be the ideal spot for you.
Kynance Cove is a white sandy beach with clear waters rolling into shore, surrounded by serpentine rock formations which visitors have described as ‘iconic’ and ‘otherworldly’.
At low tide, you can explore the caves and the island up close – but keep an eye on the tide so you don’t get cut off from the mainland.
Porthminster Beach
Backed by a sloping grassy hillside and palm trees, Portminster Beach is a lusciousstretch of golden sands, with clear blue waves lapping onto its shore. Porthminster Beach joins Harbour Beach at low tide, creating an expansive stretch of beach, perfect for a long romantic walk along the sand. It’s considered one of Cornwall’s most beautiful and amenity-rich beaches.
The soft golden sands gently slope into the crystal clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and sunbathing, perfect for those who like to bask in the sun or splash about in the sea.
Perranporth Beach
How about taking a romantic stroll, hand in hand, along one of the largest stretches of unbroken sands along the North Coast of Cornwall? Well, at low tide at Perranporth, you can!
When the tide is out, Perranporth Beach and its neighbour, Penhale Sands, join together to form one of the largest stretches of beach in the area. Along this stretch, you’ll discover rockpools, streams, Chapel Rock, and more.
Godrevy Beach
Godrevy Beach is a beautiful sandy beach located near the town of Gwithian, on the north coast of Cornwall. The long, curved sandy beach stretches for about three miles, offering dramatic scenery, sandy shores, surfing waves and a historic lighthouse. Godrevy is considered one of Cornwall’s most spectacular and photogenic beaches. It’s an idyllic spot for a coastal walk, picnic or day of seaside relaxation.
