When most people think of Cornwall, they picture sunny beaches and bustling summer crowds. But there’s a quieter, magical side to this coastline during the winter months—especially in the charming villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. If you’re looking for a cosy, peaceful getaway or planning a winter break in Cornwall, Blue Monkey Cornwall is the perfect base to experience the Cornish winter in style.
Coastal Drama: Storm Watching and Winter Seas

Bring a warm coat and sturdy boots—watching the waves crash against the rocks is both exhilarating and awe-inspiring.
