May Cornwall breaks offer the perfect opportunity to embrace longer days and milder weather, before the high numbers of summer visitors arrive. Although sunny weather isn’t guaranteed, this time of year usually sees temperatures of between 14 and 18 degrees during the day.
We recommend coming prepared for spring showers and warmer sunny weather. Bring sunglasses for bright, May days as well as warmer layers, so you can take advantage of longer daylight hours with evening beach strolls.
There are often spells of warmer weather during May bank holiday breaks in Cornwall, the spring sunshine offering the ideal opportunity for beach days, watersports and coastal walks. Devon May half term breaks and Somerset stays are also popular at this time of year, with milder weather providing the perfect conditions for exploring the countryside and coast.
Many families bring windbreaks or small tents to the beach, providing shelter from the ocean breeze, and wetsuits are recommended for bodyboarding and sea swimming. The warmer spring weather and longer evenings invite leisurely beach picnics and sunset barbeques, with plenty of sea-view restaurants to enjoy should the weather turn cooler.

With no need to leave by 10am, this option provides some added flexibility and avoids the final morning rush.
