Between Helston and Marazion on the south coast is the small town of Praa Sands. The mile-long sandy beach at Praa Sands and the great surfing conditions make it renowned for watersports activities. A bar/restaurant that has a view of the beach is the ideal place for a meal with a view or sunset beverages. In addition, Praa Sands is home to a golf course and country club, where you may play while taking in the most stunning views of the ocean. The 16th-century tower of Pengersick Castle is located not far inland from the coastline. Pengersick is reputed to be haunted, and a monk's ghost has allegedly been spotted wandering the grounds.

With it being close to some lovely beaches and places to visit. Lands end, St Ives and many more of Cornwallâs great landmarks. The property was well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings. Close to many shops and restaurants Could not recommend this enough for a lovely family holiday. We travelled over 7 hours and would go back tomorrow if we could. Thank you for providing a great holiday property.
