Early May Bank Holiday - The Pentewan Trail
Right outside the site is the start of the Pentewan Trail, a bike/walking trail that takes you to St Austell one direction and to the little village of Pentewan in the opposite direction.

Early May Bank Holiday - South Cornwall
Another bank holiday, another trip! This time we had booked a small campsite, that we had used about 6 years ago, between St Austell and Mevagissey on the south coast of Cornwall.
The sun was shining on arrival so we pitched up, had a wander into St Austell and back and then spent the evening in a lovely local (The Polgooth Inn) with our friends who'd booked the same site.

Stunning St Ives - April 2016
Next beach was Porthminster Beach, a beach made up of golden sand with views across to St Ives harbour and Godrevy lighthouse. This beach is stunning and looks very tropical when the sun is shining!
A bit further along the coast is Carbis Bay, another lovely beach also with views further along this stunning coast.
We walked back from Carbis Bay and sat outside the café on Porthminster Beach having a proper Cornish pasty for lunch in the sunshine!
After our long walk we decided to stay in that evening and we had a Chinese takeaway delivered directly to the door!
The weather wasn't as nice on the Friday (cloudy but dry) so we spent the morning wandering around the quirky little shops in town before having lunch in the Balcony Bar, sat overlooking the harbour. The storm clouds were brewing so we spent the rest of day chilling out before heading home on Saturday morning. We love St Ives and Ayr Holiday Park and cannot wait to return for our Christmas break in December.
Next booked trip is a few weeks time, for the early May bank holiday weekend, when we head down to a little campsite we've not stayed on for years between St Austell and Mevagissey!

Stunning St Ives - April 2016
We had timed our trip just right for the really low spring tides, which effectively meant that the tide was right out and we were able to continue walking around to the harbour on the beach.
Stunning St Ives - April 2016
On Thursday morning we awoke (hangover free!) to glorious blue skies so planned to be out and about walking all day. We walked from the campsite down onto Porthmeor Beach (the beach the campsite overlooks) and up onto the island.
The next beach along is Porthgwidden, a small cove with pretty coloured beach huts and a café/bar.
