A Father’s Day by the sea
Father’s Day falls on 21st June this year, bringing with it the longest day of the year and the excuse to treat him to a day filled with special moments. Whether he loves great food, coastal adventures or simply a little time to unwind, there are plenty of ways to celebrate with a thoughtful gift and a little seaside spirit.
Dinner at Cove Restaurant
For the man in your life who appreciates good food and a great view, treat him to a relaxed lunch or dinner at Cove Restaurant. With sweeping sea views of Fistral Beach and a menu filled with tasty starters, crowd-pleasing mains and tempting desserts, it’s a much-loved family spot for enjoying a meal together in Newquay.

Father’s Day gifting
Esplanade Gin
If he enjoys a well-made G&T, Esplanade Gin is a lovely way to bring a little taste of the coast home. A thoughtful gift for gin lovers, it offers something distinctive, local and easy to enjoy long after Father’s Day itself.
Esplanade Gin is available to purchase from Reception.
Surf lesson vouchers
For the dad who’s always up for trying something new, a surf lesson with Quiksilver Surf School makes a brilliant gift. Right next door to The Esplanade in Newquay, the surf school offers a purpose-built surf academy complete with changing rooms and showers, with wetsuit and board hire included in the lesson. Cheer him on from the beach, and who knows, it might be the day he catches the surfing bug and discovers a whole new passion.
