Crackington, along with the other hamlets in the Parish of St Gennys is an ideal holiday destination. Its mix of old and new, cottages and cafes, sand and surf, twisting lanes and towering cliffs makes it a good place to stay at any time of year.
Come here in the summer for bustling beach life, for long healthy walks and picnics where the views are good enough eat.
Or visit out of season for peace and seclusion, to witness foam-flinging gales or spend leisurely hours beachcombing among oystercatchers.
