Leap into 2017: Here's how to have a wildly alternative New Year on the Cornish coastline!!

There is nothing quite as refreshing and exhilarating as standing on the Cornish cliff tops, soaking up the fresh sea breeze and feeling the powerful, stormy seas crash on to the cliffs below. Begin the New Year feeling energized and revitalized, with one of the below Cornish adventures.

Ultimate New Year's Eve ocean adventures 

The habitual New Year's Coasteer and super S'UP (super stand up paddle boarding) always attracts ocean adventurers as they join Newquay Activity Centre's coasteering experts and jump into the cool Cornish seas to raise money for charity, and welcome in the New Year with a splash!

On New Year's Eve the group will be kitted out with equipment and will be briefed before heading out onto the beautiful coastline to  embark on an ocean adventure, visiting iconic landmarks such as the old lifeboat slipway. Bracing the winter swell, it's a really great way to start the New Year.

New Year Day ocean swim

Head down to Newquay Harbour and dive into the cool Atlantic ocean, swim and celebrate the New Year, leaving feeling refreshed and revitalized. The New Year swimmers will gather at 12pm and brave the chilly sea with enthusiasm and wild spirit!

Rockpool investigators

It may be too cold for the little ones to jump into the sea but the accessible rock pools of Daymer Bay and the Greenaway Beach will take the kids on a similar refreshing adventure! Retreat to nearby St Moritz Hotel, ditch the wellies and warm up with for a hot chocolate whilst storm watching.

Harbour Fireworks

Fireworks will illuminate some harbours across the country and all visitors to Looe and Newquay will be dressed in fancy dress as the celebrations begin. Fill up on fresh sea air whilst dressed up in some hilariously ridiculous attire. Fancy dress essential!

Nature and Nurture

Embrace a mixture of coastal nature and wild stormy seas with a stay at the Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa, and be blown away by the wild and rugged Cornish coast. Boost your New Year spirits and invigorate your seasonal senses with a nourishing spa retreat.

Stormy clifftop coastal walks

Retreat to your Cornish Gem clifftop abode, spark up the log fire and listen to the winds howling outside and firewood crackling inside.
