Easter by the sea

The Easter holidays are when spring is in full swing on the Cornish coast. The days grow longer and there’s more time for beach adventures and days together by the sea.

At The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay, Easter is all about easy family escapes. With Fistral Beach just moments away, it’s your backdrop for days spent in the sand and surf, and evenings spent watching the sun go down over the Atlantic.

Kids’ breakfast is on us this Easter

We know mornings with little adventurers can start early. This Easter, kids eat breakfast for FREE when you book direct, so it’s one less thing to worry about during the morning madness.

Fuel up for the day ahead with a family breakfast overlooking the ocean. Think coffee for the grown-ups, favourite breakfast treats for the kids, and views across Fistral Beach as the waves roll in. It’s the perfect start before heading out for a day of exploring.

Spring days outside together

Head out to Fistral Beach for sandcastle building, rockpool discoveries and family surf sessions. Walk the coastal paths, hunt for shells along the shoreline, or simply enjoy the feeling of spring sunshine and sea air after the winter months.

Further afield, check out the local family attractions. There’s lots going on around Cornwall at Easter.

Family fun at the hotel

Back at the hotel, the fun continues with free Easter holiday activities for children – including our Easter egg hunt on 5th April - giving little ones plenty to enjoy between beach adventures.

Take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, perfect for a splash whatever the weather. Younger guests will love the indoor and outdoor play areas, filled with space to climb, explore and make new friends. For quieter moments, settle into the in-house cinema for a family film. The perfect way to wind down after a busy day.

Relaxed evenings by the sea

As the day slows down, gather together for sea-view dining in Cove Restaurant. Seasonal dishes, family menus and the sound of the ocean create a setting that feels effortlessly coastal.

Later, unwind with a cocktail in Elements Cocktail Bar. It’s your laid-back spot to toast the day’s adventures.

At the end of the day, retreat to comfortable family rooms with space for everyone to relax.

Make Easter memories by the sea

Easter at The Esplanade Hotel is all about spending time together, with beach days, family activities and relaxed dining all waiting for you here in Newquay.

And with kids’ breakfast on us when you book direct this Easter, it’s even easier to start each day in the best way.

This Easter, gather the family, head to the coast, and make memories by the sea.
