Pentewan Sands Holiday Park

About

Pentewan Sands Holiday Park in St Austell is a five-star, family-run beachside escape set on its own private stretch of golden sand. The park is known for its stunning coastal setting, but it’s equally committed to ensuring that every visitor, including those with access needs, can enjoy a relaxed and memorable stay.

Guests looking for accessible accommodation will find several thoughtfully designed wheelchair-friendly holiday homes on site. These feature wide doorways, spacious interiors for easier movement, large wet rooms with accessible showers and toilets, and supportive equipment such as a portable helper frame. The patio doors open smoothly to outdoor areas, helping guests enjoy the sea air without barriers. Across the wider park, a number of amenity blocks also include accessible bathrooms, and there are dedicated charging points for mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs in key locations, including the Seahorse complex and selected pitches.

The Seahorse centre, home to the indoor swimming pools, café, and restaurant, offers level access throughout, lift access between floors, and flexible seating arrangements that can be adapted for different mobility needs. Staff provide table service for guests who require it, and glass doors and windows feature clear contrast markings to support those with visual impairments. The park itself is fairly level, with well-maintained surfaces that make getting around easier. Accessible parking bays are available near reception and some accommodation areas.

One of Pentewan Sands’ standout features is its direct access to the beach. To ensure everyone can enjoy time by the sea, the park offers a beach wheelchair, and the on-site watersports centre can, with notice, provide additional adaptive equipment to help guests get out onto the water. Visitors with assistance dogs are warmly welcomed, and staff encourage guests to discuss any individual requirements ahead of arrival so the team can support them fully.

Set just a few miles from St Austell and close to major attractions, Pentewan Sands offers a coastal Cornish holiday that’s both picturesque and genuinely inclusive.
