1. Wild wintry walks on the coast<\/h3>\n
Walks in winter on Cornwall\u2019s rugged coast offer the perfect way to blow away the cobwebs after festive food comas and Christmas party drinks.<\/p>\n
Wrap up warm and enjoy a bracing beach walk on one of St Ives or Carbis Bay\u2019s beautiful beaches<\/a>.<\/p>\n Join the South West Coastal Path<\/strong> for a wild cliff top walk this winter in Cornwall for dramatic views and landscapes.<\/p>\n After your rejuvenating stroll, find one of the many cosy pubs in St Ives<\/a> to warm up in.<\/p>\n Many have roaring log fires, including The Lifeboat Inn in St Ives, The Watermill in nearby Lelant, and The Tinner\u2019s Arms in Zennor.<\/p>\n Many traditional Cornish foods are already great winter warmers. Cornish pasties make an ideal and hearty meal during winter in Cornwall.<\/p>\n There are lots of festive varieties of pasties to discover during the festive period too!<\/p>\n Tuck into a Philips Famous Pasty<\/a> from Hayle, or grab one from the St Ives Bakery<\/a> to enjoy in your Carbis Bay holiday cottage.<\/p>\n Fish and chips were made for the beach and are a delicious, filling meal. Enjoy then in Cornwall in winter after a beach walk, sitting on the sand or a seaside bench watching the waves.<\/p>\n Take in the harbour view as you tuck into a tasty meal from Harbour Fish and Chips<\/a> in St Ives; just remember not to feed the seagulls!<\/p>\n Perhaps you’ve been surfing during the summer a few times and fell in love with it or you’d like to start surfing regularly to improve?<\/p>\n Well, you can’t become a seasoned surfer unless you brave the waters in winter in Cornwall.<\/p>\n If you’re ready to take the plunge, you’ll definitely be needing a winter wetsuit! You might also need some other surfer’s accessories such as a hood, gloves and boots.<\/p>\n Once you have all the right gear and you\u2019re ready to go, there’s a few other things to remember before you embrace the winter waves.<\/p>\n Firstly, prepare for when you get out of the water by having your towel and warm clothes handy. Cornwall in winter can get pretty chilly!<\/p>\n Next, do a warm-up before you get in the water – try a few stretches followed by a jog down the beach to get the blood pumping.<\/p>\n Finally, once you’re in the water try not to sit still in the surf. It is better to have a shorter, more active surf than it is to sit around and get cold.<\/p>\n You can hire surfboards and equipment from St Ives Surf School<\/a> for a fun and active winter in Cornwall.<\/p>\n Cornwall in winter can bring some pretty wild weather. Gale force winds and relentless waves have shaped the Cornish coast into the rugged landscape that it is today.<\/p>\n There are plenty of scenic storm watching spots to choose from near St Ives.<\/p>\n The Old Coastguard<\/a> in Mousehole has dramatic views out over the sea with a cosy log fire inside. Tuck into some delicious food whilst you shelter from the wild weather and watch the waves from the window.<\/p>\n Porthleven is another popular storm watching spot during winter in Cornwall. Its clock tower provides a great backdrop for the ferocious waves.<\/p>\n Duck into Origin Coffee Roasters<\/a> for a brilliant view of the harbour and watch the stormy weather with a warming drink.<\/p>\n Other exciting storm watching spots include Sennen, Botallack, Cape Cornwall and Penzance.<\/p>\n Just remember to consider safety first; photo opportunities are not as important as your life!<\/p>\n Keep a safe distance from the water\u2019s edge and watch indoors from a pub or cafe where possible.<\/p>\n The strong winds and massive waves can make going outdoors during winter in Cornwall an exhilarating experience.<\/p>\n But cold, crisp, and cloudless days are absolutely beautiful too.<\/p>\n There are more than 300 beaches in Cornwall, and in winter, they are blissfully quiet.<\/p>\n Take advantage of the peaceful settings in Cornwall in winter for romantic strolls on the sands, or kicking a ball around with the kids.<\/p>\n Explore the Cornish coast in your warmest winter clothes, and plan your walking routes around a cosy pub or caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n The South West Coast Path and the miles of beaches will be virtually empty, so you can explore to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n You might even be lucky enough to see the beaches covered with snow; a real treat during a winter in Cornwall!<\/p>\n After a busy day exploring the Cornish coast, it’s always good to have somewhere warm and cosy to return to.<\/p>\n Think warming woodburners or open fires and entertainment on rainy days with board games and Netflix.<\/p>\n This winter in Cornwall, after bracing walks on the beach, or braving the water for a surf, return to a Carbis Bay Holidays cottage.<\/p>\n There are lots of sea view apartments in St Ives<\/a> to choose from for the dramatic weather watching. Or find a host of Carbis Bay holidays with hot tubs<\/a> for a luxury winter warming experience.<\/p>\n![\"Cornwall](\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/09\/Cornwall-In-Winter-Coastal-Walk-1024x683.jpg\")
