Many people want to increase their cultural awareness or learn a new skill while on holiday, it has been suggested.
According to editor of thetravelmagazine.net Sharron Livingston, holidaymakers are increasingly looking to try “something a little different” when on a break, something that a stay in holiday cottages in Cornwall may be able to provide.
The county is especially popular with those interested in watersports and it may be that people enjoying Cornwall holidays use their time there to learn how to surf.
“Culture, adventure, activity and learning holidays offer time out with a feeling of having done something worthwhile,” Ms Livingstone remarked.
She added that as well as being fulfilling, such breaks give people experience that are “great for after-dinner conversation”.
According to Visit Cornwall, there is a variety of reef and beach breaks on both the north and south coasts of the county, creating conditions that suit surfers of all abilities.
It recommends checking out the Reef Surf School in Newquay and the Wales Surf School in St Merryn, among others.
