Sure, England might not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of beach holidays—but believe it or not, it’s home to some stunning coastal gems. Cornwall, in particular, boasts an array of breathtaking beaches perfect for everything from water sports and sunbathing to dolphin spotting. Whether you’re touring in your own vehicle or looking into campervan hire, these beaches make ideal stopovers.
Here are 10 of the best beaches in Cornwall that are well worth the visit—especially if you’re exploring the coast with one of the many campers for hire in the area.
Sheltered by towering granite cliffs, this hidden beach reveals beautiful blue lagoons during the summer, which warm up nicely by the afternoon. There’s a wild camping ground nearby and a charming little café perched above the cliffs in the hamlet of Treen—perfect for a peaceful break especially if you’ve opted for a campervan hire.
This mile-long stretch of golden sand is a favourite among water sports lovers. With a few surf shops offering lessons and plenty of space even on peak days, it’s an ideal stop for beach lovers. It’s a bit of a hike down the cliff steps, but completely worth the effort—especially when you’re touring in comfort with one of 365camperhire.co.uk vehicles
Arguably one of the most photographed beaches in England, Kynance Cove is a visual treat with its turquoise waters, caves, and dramatic rock formations. Though a bit remote, it’s the kind of detour that makes a campervan or motorhome adventure so rewarding.
Ideal for families, Harlyn Bay offers a massive beach during low tide—though high tide does tend to eat up the sand! It’s a great spot for summer fun or catching the westerly swells in winter. An easy beach to swing by if you’ve got the freedom of your own camper.
Located just north of the bustling Newquay, this beach is a quieter alternative. It’s tucked between cliffs with caves to explore—great for those seeking a more peaceful beach day. A perfect pit stop if you’re exploring Cornwall.
Water sports enthusiasts, take note—this beach is a hub of action. You’ll often spot professional surfers here, but if you’re new to the waves, the Extreme Academy Surf School offers lessons for all skill levels. A must-see for anyone enjoying the flexibility that campervan hire offers.

Looking for something with a bit more buzz? Lusty Glaze is known for its live music, great dining, and a real sense of atmosphere. This private beach has hosted acts like Seth Lakeman and The Proclaimers. You can easily catch an evening show and roll into your cozy camper just steps away.
This National Trust gem is surrounded by rolling dunes and offers everything from canoeing and walking to surfing and snorkeling. Keep an eye out—you might just spot dolphins! It’s a dreamy location to park up your camper and enjoy nature at its best.
Another National Trust site, this area has recently been made more accessible and offers dramatic views and stunning coastal walks. Be cautious of the tides here. It pairs beautifully with a visit to Watergate Bay—and is easily added to your itinerary with the convenience of a campervan hire.
A family favourite, Porthcurno is known for its dramatic cliffs, soft sand, and gentle stream—perfect for younger children to play in. It’s also famous for magical sunsets that you can enjoy right from the comfort of your camper.
Cornwall has countless beaches waiting to be discovered—hidden coves, sea caves, and incredible wildlife are just around the bend. Whether you’re planning a full coastal road trip or a short getaway, having the flexibility of a campervan hire makes it all the more convenient and fun.

Imagine stumbling upon a breathtaking, secluded spot where you can spend the night surrounded by nothing but nature. If the idea of wild camping has sparked your curiosity, here’s everything you need to know to get started.
Wild camping—also known as informal camping—is all about finding a quiet, natural place to camp overnight, away from the crowds and campsites. It’s different from free camping, which might include parking your campervan in a pub car park or designated free site. Wild camping is your ticket to true peace and solitude, where you can reconnect with nature without the distractions of everyday life. It’s completely free, but comes with no facilities—no toilets, no showers, and no hookups. Just you, your camper, and the wilderness.
In the UK and Ireland, most land is privately owned. However, some National Parks, Trust-owned land, and local authority areas may allow wild camping, especially in designated spots. Whenever possible, try to get permission from landowners in advance. You can use the Land Registry to find out who owns a piece of land.
If you’re more spontaneous, it’s still possible to wild camp for a night as long as you’re discreet and respectful. Remember, you don’t have a legal right to park overnight on private land, so if someone asks you to move on, you must comply. Parking in lay-bys is usually allowed, but keep it low-key—no awnings, no outdoor setups. It’s for parking only.
Motorhome near a Lake
To keep wild camping sustainable and safe for everyone, follow these key principles:
This is the golden rule. Take everything with you, including litter—even if it wasn’t yours. If your vehicle lacks toilet facilities, bury human waste at least 50 metres from water sources. Bag and properly dispose of toilet paper and hygiene products.
Arrive late, leave early, and park somewhere out of sight from homes or busy roads. Avoid setting up a full camp. The less noticeable you are, the better your chances of a peaceful night.
Use a trowel for waste, and never wash with soap or detergent in rivers or lakes. Always leave nature as you found it.
Avoid open fires. If cooking, use a portable stove or a raised barbecue. Make sure it’s fully extinguished and take all ashes with you.
Keep a sober, designated driver at all times—you might be asked to leave unexpectedly. Being “drunk in charge” of a vehicle is still an offence, even if it’s parked.
1. Plan Ahead
Use OS Maps to scout potential spots—look for footpaths and water sources. If possible, secure landowner permission before heading out.
2. Pack Smart
Remote areas aren’t always Sat Nav-friendly, so bring a detailed map. Make sure you have waterproof clothes, a torch, matches, a trowel, and plenty of bin bags.
3. Stock Up
Fuel, food, water, and a full gas bottle are essentials before you head off-grid.
4. Support Local Businesses
Shop, eat, and fuel up locally. Supporting the local economy helps keep wild camping welcome in rural areas.
5. Respect Nature
Don’t feed animals or disturb the environment. Leave rocks, plants, and wildlife untouched. Take only photos, leave only footprints.
While wild camping is a fantastic experience, combining it with stays at regular campsites can be a great way to balance adventure with comfort. Campsites allow you to access facilities, dump waste, and recharge—literally and figuratively—while still enjoying beautiful natural settings.

Silverstone Map F1
Silverstone was the venue of the first-ever Formula 1 Grand Prix, held on May 13, 1950.
While much has changed with the motorsport in the 72 years since then, the Northamptonshire circuit remains one of the quickest and most iconic on the calendar. Formerly the home of a Royal Air Force (RAF) airfield, it is quite apt that Hamilton has compared driving a lap of the track to flying a fighter jet.
The circuit has undergone numerous layout changes over the years – the most recent in 2010. It currently has two drag reduction system (DRS) zones, where drivers can toggle a flap in their cars’ rear wings to increase their top speed on the straights.
Abbey – Turn 1
The flat-out first corner of Silverstone’s current Grand Prix layout is named after the ancient Luffield Abbey. Remains of the 12th-century priory were found near to the corner.
Farm – Turn 2
Drivers continue to accelerate through Farm, which – unsurprisely – got its name from a nearby farm. The curve is also where cars feed back onto the track from the pits.
Village – Turn 3
Village did not exist until the 2010 redevelopment. The tight right-hander is the circuit’s first braking zone and provides an overtaking opportunity for the brave. It is named after the adjacent village of Silverstone.
The Loop – Turn 4
The fourth turn does what it says on the tin. As The Loop is the slowest corner on the track, getting a quick exit from the fiddly left-hand hairpin is crucial for the upcoming straight.
Aintree – Turn 5
Now famous for hosting the Grand National horse race, Aintree was also the home of the British Grand Prix in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Drivers continue to accelerate through the left-hand turn that bears its name.
Wellington Straight
The Wellington Straight is formed from one of the site’s former runways and is named after the Wellington bombers that were based at the circuit during the Second World War. It is the first of two DRS zones that drivers can use, ideally to overtake into Brooklands.
Brooklands – Turn 6
As with Aintree, the left-hander of Brooklands gets its name from a former British Grand Prix circuit. The concrete oval near Weybridge in Surrey hosted races in 1926 and 1927, before the creation of modern Formula 1.
Luffield – Turn 7
The long right-hander of Luffield is named after Luffield Chapel. It replaced the former Bridge corner in 1991.
Woodcote – Turn 8
Silverstone’s eighth corner bears the name of Woodcote Park, a stately home in Surrey. The estate is owned by the Royal Automobile Club (RAC), which played a major role in organising the first races at the circuit.
Copse – Turn 9
One of the fastest and most thrilling corners, Copse gets its name from the woodland surrounding the track. Drivers try to tackle the turn flat out to maximise their speed towards Stowe. It is the site of Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s controversial collision in 2021.
Maggotts, Becketts and Chapel – Turns 10-14
This complex has to be one of the most iconic sequences of corners in Formula 1. Maggotts is named after the nearby Maggot Moor, while Becketts and Chapel take their monikers from the medieval chapel of St Thomas à Beckett, which was demolished in 1943 to make way for the airfield.
Hangar Straight
The circuit’s longest straight is the site of another DRS zone, offering a great overtaking opportunity into Stowe. Its name is a tribute to the now-demolished storage buildings used by the RAF.
Stowe – Turn 15
The fast right-hander of Stowe has long been a challenge for drivers as they battle on the brakes at the end of the Hanger Straight. A private school just south of the circuit gives it its name. Michael Schumacher broke one of his legs when a brake failure saw him hurtle into the barriers at Stowe in 1999.
Vale – Turn 16
Motorsport fans are divided on the reason for Vale’s name. Some say it is because the left turn’s undulation is similar to a valley, while others say it is after the district of Aylesbury Vale in which Silverstone is located.
Club – Turns 17-18
The final corner is named in honour of the RAC’s clubhouse in central London. The right-hander can be difficult to execute at the end of a qualifying lap when tyres are overheating.
Hamilton Straight
A short dash to the finish line closes a lap at Silverstone. The pit straight was renamed in 2020 after Sir Lewis Hamilton, the track’s most successful Formula 1 driver.
