Make the most of school holidays in Falmouth
School’s out, the sun’s (hopefully) shining, and Falmouth is ready to keep the whole family entertained. Whether you’re a local looking for ideas or visiting Sand Dune for the week, here’s why this stretch of Cornish coastline is the perfect spot to fill those long holiday days.
Beach days...sorted
With Gyllyngvase, Swanpool, and Maenporth all within easy reach, you’ve got a different beach for every mood. Calm, shallow waters are ideal for little ones building sandcastles, while the more adventurous can try their hand at paddleboarding, kayaking, or bodyboarding when the swell picks up.
Get out on the water
Falmouth’s harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world, which means there’s no shortage of ways to explore it. Family-friendly boat trips, sailing taster sessions, and stand-up paddleboard hire are all popular picks during the holidays — and a brilliant way to burn off some energy.
Rainy day backup plans
Not every day in Cornwall is a scorcher, so it’s worth having a plan B. The National Maritime Museum is a hit with kids of all ages, and Falmouth’s independent cafés and shops make for a cosy wander when the weather turns.
School holidays are Falmouth’s busiest time of year, so if you’ve got your eye on a particular activity, boat trip, or place to stay, it’s worth booking early to avoid disappointment.
However you spend your time here, Falmouth has a way of turning ordinary school holiday days into the kind of memories that last well beyond September.
