YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Par
Par Sands and its low dunes
Par Sands has a broad stretch of sand backed by low dunes, giving a beach visit a different feel from the steeper coves found elsewhere in Cornwall. A walk, a picnic and time playing on the sand can make a complete outing without adding another attraction. The approach includes soft sand, so consider how your group will carry equipment or manage a pushchair between the parking area and the shore.
Local recreation at Par Track
Par Track on Moorland Road is a community-run green space with facilities including a pump track, athletics track, children's activities, library and café. It introduces an everyday side of Par beyond the beach, and can suit a group wanting an active break or somewhere to pause locally. Select the facility or session you intend to use from its programme, since some activities involve bookings or membership arrangements.
The Eden Project near Par
The Eden Project is inland at Bodelva, rather than on Par Sands. Its Biomes and Outdoor Gardens turn a former clay pit into a place to explore plants, environments and the connections between people and nature. Combine the indoor growing spaces with outdoor areas at a pace that suits your group. This is a separate visit to plan from your accommodation, not an attraction reached by simply following the beach.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Par Market and Food Hall is on Par Moor Road, away from the beach, with independent stalls covering food, gifts and other goods. It can provide a shopping outing when you want to browse rather than simply collect a few supplies. Plan around its trading days and distinguish the market address from Par village facilities, so your shopping trip starts in the right place.
Planning your holiday in Par
A useful Par itinerary alternates beach time with a booked activity or garden visit, rather than filling every day with driving. Soft sand at Par Sands can be tiring for small wheels, while the Eden site includes outdoor walking as well as the Biomes. For Par Track, confirm the particular facility you want to use before promising an activity to children.
Choosing where to stay
Look for the holiday home's position in relation to Par Sands, village shops and your intended day trips. The description “near Par” can cover different surroundings, so ask the owner about the actual walking route to the beach and any on-site facilities. Caravans To Hire connects you with listing owners; availability, payments and the holiday agreement are arranged with them.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
