Many of family rooms also have stunning sea views, so you can fall asleep to the soothing sound of the ocean.

Cornwall is great fun for kids, in all weather
Sands Resort Hotel is perfectly placed to explore Cornwall
Sands Resort Hotel is set in Porth, a prime spot on the north coast of Cornwall overlooking iconic Watergate Bay.
The nearest beach is just a stone’s throw from the resort, but that’s not all there is to do nearby. Just a short walk down the road is beautiful Porth Beach, popular with both families and surfers, thanks to its lively rock pools and excellent waves.
Although when it comes to beaches this part of Cornwall spoils you for choice. Fistral Beach sits just down the road in one direction and then you’ll find enormous Watergate Beach in the other. Head a little further down the coast, to visit the quaint town of Perranporth, or go a little further to arty St Ives: another Cornwall holiday legend with marvellous beaches.
Between those two towns, you can dip into some history at Camborne, where the fascinating King Edward Mine Museum gives kids a glimpse of another side of Cornwall.
