For added convenience, a cellar is available to store paddleboards and anything guests need. The village of Gorran Haven makes a perfect holiday base for touring this stunning area, with many superb outdoor activities available, including fishing, sailing or walking the South West Coastal Path to Portmellon and onto Mevagissey, where a traditional lunch of crab sandwiches in one of the cafés or pubs can be enjoyed. Gorran Haven offers a shop/post office which supplies all the basic essentials, as well as freshly baked bread each morning. There is also a restaurant and pub within walking distance of the cottage.

For beach lovers, this area is a paradise, offering secluded bays in addition to busier beaches, with many activities to enjoy including the sailing club at Porthpean and the beach activities in Pentewan, which is also the start of an off road cycle trail that can link up with a network of off road trails.
A visit to the Georgian harbour of Charlestown and the Shipwreck Museum makes for a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, as there are often tall ships in the harbour which is used as many TV and film sets. The golf courses of Porthpean, St Austell and Carlyon Bay are easily reached, and the coastal path passes the front door, so Beach Corner Cottage really is the perfect spot to enjoy this dramatic county.
