We all know that Cornwall offers lovely days by the sea with lots of sunshine, book a holiday cottage in Cornwall on the sunshine coast and enjoy lazy days at the seaside.

The beaches on the Atlantic side of Cornwall are renowned for big surfing waves and almost every other beach has surf hire and tuition.

Go to southern Cornwall for more sheltered beaches where children won't be in the way of surfers.

View sunshine cottages in Cornwall and choose a comfortable self-catering cottage for your next holiday on the Cornish coast.

The photograph on the right shows the sandy harbour in the coastal Cornish village of Port Isaac, the village where the cottage of Doc Martin where the television programme is located. It is only possible to view the cottage from the outside, and many of the visitors do just that. There are lovely views of Port Isaac harbour from its high vantage point.

Walk further up the road for even better views and verges full of wild flowers. At the end of the road are tea rooms at some B&Bs.
