Surf & Sleep by the Beach

Gwithian Holidays offer superb self catering accommodation in the village of Gwithian, just a short walk from a three mile stretch of golden sand called St Ives Bay. We aim to offer you good value, comfortable accommodation with excellent facilities, to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. We've provided all the things that we want when on holiday, and tried to make the suites a real home away from home.

Each suite is totally self contained, and we provide you with proper kitchens and all the cooking equipment you need. The beds are comfy, the showers are powerful and the furnishings are clean and stylish.

If you don't fancy cooking after a day of surfing then the Red River Inn is 200 yards away offering excellent food and a wide selection of ales and beers from around the world. Gwithian village is also serviced by two good beach cafes and the Sandisfter Beach Bar & Bistro while St Ives offers some of the best dining in Britain.

Being sandwiched between open countryside and the Towans (Cornish for sand-dunes), and just a short drive from the popular towns of St Ives, Penzance and Hayle, makes Gwithian an ideal base for a relaxing Cornish holiday. Falmouth, Truro and Newquay are all within easy driving distance. Lands End and The Lizard peninsula, the tourist attractions of the outdoor Minack Theatre and the spectacular Eden Project are also nearby. There's tons to do around here and Gwithian Holidays is the ideal place to return after a long day enjoying all that Cornwall has to offer.

The surf academy is a short walk from the holiday accommodation so you can even leave the car at home and ramble down in your wetsuit. All our packages include the use of surfboard and wetsuit for the entire duration of your stay with us so you can surf as much or as little as you like.
