Cornwall Events and Days Out This August
Explore Cornwall’s Summer Markets and Local Events
August is the perfect month to experience Cornwall’s local communities. Across the county you will find farmers’ markets, craft fairs, food festivals and village events celebrating everything that makes Cornwall special.
Some of our favourite places to visit include:
Truro
Just a short drive away, Truro is Cornwall’s only city and a great day out. Explore the independent shops, visit the cathedral, enjoy a coffee in one of the many cafés, or browse the regular markets.
Falmouth
Falmouth is always buzzing during the summer months. Wander around the harbour, visit the National Maritime Museum, enjoy the beaches, or stop for lunch overlooking the water.
St Ives
A little further afield but always worth the trip, St Ives offers stunning beaches, art galleries, coastal walks and some of Cornwall’s most famous scenery.
Enjoy Cornwall’s Best Beaches (Including Dog-Friendly Beaches)
One of the biggest reasons people visit Cornwall is the incredible coastline. From golden sandy beaches to hidden coves, there is something for everyone.
If you are searching for a dog friendly beach in Cornwall, there are still plenty of options where your four-legged friends can enjoy the sand and sea. Always check current restrictions before travelling, as some beaches have seasonal dog rules during the summer months.
Some of our favourite beaches within easy reach of Lanyon Holiday Park include:
Portreath Beach
Approximately 15 minutes away, Portreath is a popular family beach with rock pools, coastal walks and a lovely harbour area. Dogs do have seasonal restrictions during parts of the summer, so early morning or evening walks are often best for visitors with dogs.
Porthtowan Beach
A favourite with surfers, Porthtowan has beautiful golden sand and dramatic cliffs. It is a great place for a beach day followed by a walk along the coast path.
Godrevy Beach
One of Cornwall’s most iconic beaches, with views towards Godrevy Lighthouse. It is a brilliant spot for walking, exploring rock pools and enjoying sunsets.
Perranporth Beach
A huge stretch of sand that is perfect for families, beach games and long walks. The nearby village also has cafés and shops for holiday essentials.
