A great indoor option if the weather is not good. There are different themed exhibitions, at high tide you can view under the sea and downstairs make sure you have a go on the model boats they are great fun!

We don't have many woods down here and Tehidy is my favourite. If you are looking for somewhere cool on a hot day, there are a range of routes you can follow for a walk, a cafe and a stream to play in.

Godrevy beach is another North coast beach that is really nice. You can park in the first National Trust car park and head to the beach or drive on to the next car park and walk up the hill. From here you get a great view of the lighthouse on your way past but you can also head directly up from the car park and peer carefully over the cliff edge to see the seals. Depending on the time of year the beach is littered with seals.

Catch a ferry to somewhere. Look up Falriver to view the different ferries. For example catch a ferry from Falmouth to Truro for lunch, or Falmouth to St Mawes to see the castle and get an ice cream. It is a fun way to travel, with lots to see.

Adventure
Ali hires out kayaks and SUPs at this sheltered spot on the estuary. You can head off and explore the creeks looking for kingfishers and herons. Plus paddle over to Turnaware point to view the memorial stone commemorating the D-Day embarkation from there. You can then walk up the hill and enjoy views of the estuary with a picnic. Or paddle round to the Pandora Inn. A delightful pub on the edge of the water for a bit of lunch or a refreshing drink.
Alternatively Martin runs sailing lessons and kids clubs.

Hire bikes and ride the bike trail from coast to coast, Portreath to Devoran. The bike hire is two thirds of the way along the route so you can also head to one end and back. This is a gentle track that is good for a family to explore. If you have your own bikes there are also lots of other bike trails to explore such as the camel trail (Wadebridge to Padstow) and the Great Flat Lode near Redruth.

This has been run by the same family since Mark was growing up here. It is an old folly on top of a hill that has been turned into a restaurant. I believe it only seats 24 at a time. It is compact and very atmospheric. They often let you out on to the roof to admire the view, you can see from the North to the South coast. The middle eastern cuisine is delicious, I recommend the baklava.

This is another generally sheltered beach. It is a little further on from Swanpool and that can mean it might be a little quieter as it is that bit further out of Falmouth.

One of my favourite stretches of sand! If you are looking for waves and surfing you will need to head over to the North coast and Gwithian is a lovely place to go. It has lots of space in the dunes for a walk if you want to be away from the crowds or head on down to the beach and enjoy the gorgeous white sand and blue sea. There is Sunset surf that offer surfing lessons and the Jampot cafe that does fantastic cake.
