Cawsand

Cawsand is perhaps one of the prettiest villages in Cornwall. Look out of your Cawsand holiday cottage and you’ll see narrow streets, brightly painted houses and a pretty beach with clear blue sea. Its sheltered bay was once a stopping off point for naval ships, but now you’re more likely to see sailing boats, kayaks and paddleboards. 

Choose a family-friendly cottage in Cawsand, and find out why this village, and neighbouring Kingsand, are so popular for children. The sheltered beach and bay offer rock pools to explore and safe places to swim and paddle. 

Once renowned as a destination for smugglers, Cawsand is part of the Rame Peninsula – an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty. It is often forgotten by visitors now as they pass by on the improved A30, but it is well worth turning off and choosing a Cawsand holiday home, for a delightfully quiet stay in Cornwall
