Things to do on site and in the St Austell area

The park is situated on its own private beach, with half a mile of golden sand in a quiet, sheltered bay close to Mevagissey. It's the perfect place to dabble in water sports activities under the trained eye of an expert, including kayaking, surfing, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and the fun of paddleboarding.

The Seahorse complex is home to two indoor swimming pools, fun flumes and an adult whirlpool, as well as an amusement arcade. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, a cafe and on-site shop with its own bakery, so you can refuel after all that excitement!

It's also worth checking out Charlestown on the other side of St Austell, which is often used as a filming location thanks to its historic harbour, quaint shops and tall ships.
