Car Free Days Out

The Falmouth Beach Resort Hotel is the perfect base for an exciting family holiday.  With plenty to see and do for both the young and the young at heart, our hotel is central to some of the best attractions in Cornwall.

For a day out that is both educational and great fun, why not the National Maritime Museum?   Housed in an award winning building on Falmouth's quayside, the museum is host to an extraordinary collection of small boats and is steeped in maritime history.  So, from learning about weather to enjoying the stunning scenery from the viewing tower or just playing with the model boats, there really is something for everyone!

Also within walking distance from the hotel is the historic Pendennis Castle.  From its clifftop location the castle plays host to medieval events such as jousting and falconry throughout the summer.

For the keen nature buff there are a variety of local attractions guaranteed to excite.  Swanpool Nature Reserve is home to a diverse range of birds and animals, and the famous South West Coast Path offers the chance to see our native wildlife in its natural habitat, as well as spectacular sea views and hidden beaches.

One of the nicest things to do by the sea is, of course, messing about in boats.  The King Harry Ferry Company has a whole range of boat trips and ferries ready to take you wherever you wish to go.  Not only is it a fantastic experience, but you can also bask in the knowledge that you are easing traffic congestion and reducing your carbon footprint!
