Region: Cornwall’s visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain’s premier holiday destinations.

Town: One of the best-kept secrets in all of Cornwall is the seaside town of Porthleven, which is situated near Helston and is best known as the site of the annual Flora Dance Festival. Porthleven, a Cornish fishing community between Lizard Point and Land's End, has kept its authentic character and offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the stunning Cornish coastline. Plenty of boating and marine activity can be found in the historic, picturesque inner harbour, which is also home to the city's famous clock tower. All year long, families can enjoy the town's many attractions, including its maze of streets lined with traditional granite cottages typical of Cornwall, its long beach patrolled by lifeguards, the opportunity to dine al fresco at any of several restaurants that consistently receive high marks from visitors, and crabbing in the harbour. With the establishment of a well-attended culinary festival each spring, Porthleven is quickly becoming known as a great place to dine. In the off-season, Porthleven's surf break is one of the greatest in the country, and it's easy to while away the hours just watching the vivacious surfers. Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey are just a few of the beautiful, secluded coves along this stretch of coast. Because it is one of the best places in the UK to observe a storm, images of Porthleven and its pounding winter waves are frequently featured in television weather reports. Hikers will love exploring the South West Coast Path, whether they want to head west over Rinsey Head for breathtaking vistas or head south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate, home to a National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Visit the beautiful subtropical gardens at Tresco Abbey on the Isles of Scilly, which are accessible by plane or boat. As a fun day trip, you can't miss the Eden Project in St. Austell. Porthleven serves as a wonderful home base from which to explore all that west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula have to offer.
