Get ready for some fun in Porthleven, the southernmost port in Britain! This charming harbour town is bursting with award-winning chefs in fabulous eateries, artsy craft shops for the creative souls, and pubs oozing with personality. The journey from Praa Sands to Porthleven is a 5-mile traipse along the dramatic coastline with old engine houses whispering tales of Cornwall’s mining past. For all you foodies a great time to visit is during the Porthleven Food Festival, which is packed with cooking demos, live music, and a buffet of international cuisines. 

Strike out on a trek along the coast path towards Penzance, where the alluring Prussia Cove awaits. A romantic little spot that once housed an infamous family of smugglers. You can almost picture their daring escapades while lounging on the rocks and investigating the crumbled remains of old fishing huts. The sheltered waters of the cove becomes your window to the underwater world, making it an ideal spot for a snorkelling session. And guess what? This treasure is just a one-hour panoramic view-filled walk away! 

The iconic destination of St. Michaels Mount is just a 10 minute car journey from your holiday home. You’ll definitely want to hop across and explore the legendary castle atop the craggy tidal island for yourself. But it is a sight that never gets old and makes the perfect backdrop to a delicious lunch in Marazion. As it’s so close to your holiday home you can zip over there any time and gaze across the water at this striking landmark.
