We had a lovely week enjoying the stunning views from Sydney Cove in Praa Sands. The apartment is furnished to a very high standard. Always a bonus to have a parking space in Cornwall. The apartment was so bright with the huge windows. Never tired of watching the sea. The outside space was perfect for watching the sea. Very quiet location but just a few minutes walk to the beach, bar and Cafe. Also a great location for visiting sites in Cornwall. Looking forward to visiting again.

Second visit to Sydney Cove, and it didn't disappoint.

Beautiful view of the bay, which is stunning in all weathers. The apartment is always spotless when we arrive, and has everything we need for a comfortable, relaxing break. A true gem.

We hope to be back next year.

Holidays in Praa Sands

With one mile of white gold sand, which looks almost tropical in the sunshine, Praa Sands provides an idyllic setting for a Cornish holiday. The beach is ideal for family picnics, sandcastle building, beach games and paddling, and the waves are great for surfers and bodyboarders. Praa Sands beach is surrounded by stunning coastal walks, with breathtaking views of Penzance, Mount’s Bay and The Lizard Peninsula.

Great surf and surf hire facilities are on your doorstep along with the coast path and spectacular scenery. Read about surfing in Praa Sands on our blog: Ten of the best surf spots in Cornwall.

Praa Sands’ nine-hole golf course is only minutes away, or for those who prefer a bit of history, Pengersick Castle is a short walk away where there are plenty of stories about the wrecking and smuggling that took place in the bay until the 18th century. Right on the beach is Sandbar, a modern and bright restaurant/bar with magnificent views across the ocean.

Praa Sands is commonly pronounced 'Pray' Sands.
