Exploring The Empty Beach Towns Of Cornwall In Winter

  • When most people think of Cornwall, they think of summer beach holidays. Bustling holiday resorts and sun kissed fun by the coast are definitely the norm in Summer, but what are these places like in winter? I chose to explore Perranporth and Newquay on a grim January day when all the tourists are nowhere near. I chose these town towns because they are very much resort towns, set up mainly to fulfil the needs of the summer influx of tourists. They are a very different scene in winter. Shops, cafes, pubs and hotels close and the jobs disappear with them. Left behind are the locals. Some have to struggle all winter and wait for the tourists money to return in the warmer months. I took to the streets to ask the locals of Perranporth and Newquay what life is like for them in winter and which time of year do they prefer.

    I love going down to Cornwall out of season, there's nothing better than a winter walk on the beach and walking around the towns without foot shuffling

    I think most people are concerned about the many millions of tax payer money being spent on people (per day) who have broken immigration laws to enter the UK especially when there are so many people living on the streets right now. How is it justified? Perhaps if they were authentic asylum seekers people would feel better but they clearly aren’t or they would have sought asylum in one of the many countries along the way. They are treated better in the UK than anywhere else in Europe, at your expense, which is why they continue to arrive. Yes, have an open mind as you point out but make sure your brain doesn’t fall out in the process.

      Something which is often overlooked and in many cases outright ignored is many of those coming across the channel and being placed in hotels and other accommodation across the country come from parts of the world and cultures with polar opposite views on women and children .... some other their cultures view them as practically third class citizens with ZERO rights ..... this is NOT a good situation for women and children in the areas having hundreds of these illegal migrants placed with the local population .

    For me, living in Pensans, the best period of the year is April-May (Late Spring to Early Summer) because daylight hours are increasing, the weather is generally improving - there are often days where the temperature reaches the low 20sC - and yet there are still relatively few tourists around.

      also people in this country would like a better life free from prosecution particularly this government not giving a damn about its own people especially disabled and our own elderly and ex servicemen. unless you have money you cannot exchange council properties unless you have a connection to the area. yet asylum seekers can go anywhere and be housed in hotels we can not afford to stay in and they moan about the condition of the hotels and not being housed. most of the crime is worst now and most reported in the local papers people found guilty it is often foreign people that is fact. charity should begin at home. in our home town it is white english people that are homeless and the migrants in hotels. it is not the white english peoples choice to be homeless. rape stabbings drugs etc now common place here too. in a recent video showed sandbanks but not turlin moor or bourne estate, west howe etc. bournemouth is the same as newquay now . if a war happenned here where would we go to escape who would have us and help.

As we left in Nov we really noticed that the town was shutting down which was a shame, going out to eat etc becomes tough. But good to see the town lively in the vid mate! Keeping an eye on the property market down there, it looks like rental prices have chilled out quite a bit so maybe more locals moving back to the town over winter?

There was a storm and a very high tide (it's called something can't remember) and the sea was boiling with the water going over the sea wall, flooding the car park and nearby roads. Never seen anything like it, the waves were enormous. Quite an experience.

    Personally I've never profited from tourism and I've lived in 3 tourist seaside resorts in my life so I can say that I find the holiday seasons unbearable as tourists descend on your local area and ruin it for the locals, it takes 2x long to get anywhere, there's way more litter around and left on our beautiful beaches, they walk out in front of your car often licking ice creams too busy looking at the views to not realise they stepped in the road, parking is a nightmare everywhere and the beaches are like sardine cans you just don't want to go to the beach in the 6 weeks holidays.

    Interesting video! Strange to see the empty tables at the Watering Hole! 😳 I myself visited St. Ives for a few days this week. I have been there several times during summer and it is really different now. I loved walking in the almost empty streets now. The light was different, the weather more powerful and there is always possible to get a table in a restaurant. Many shops and some restaurants are closed in the winter but I still had enough choices. What was the main drawback in my opinion is the short days. I'll be back later. Possibly in the spring or autumn 🤩

    I like Cornwall from Mid September until the beginning of July. I don't mind the winter weather, in fact I have always wanted to be there to video the storms but always seem to miss them. End of April is good too as you get the Trevithick steam day. So you lost forty quid in the arcade, you should know better - the arcades have always been worse robbers than the council!

    This isn't really limited to coastal towns. University towns also suffer from this. I went to uni in a city near to where I grew up and during term time it was lively and vibrant, during the holidays, empty.
    I understand the problem, masses of people that are just visiting are not really invested in the area but pretty much all the shops are geared towards them. You spend your life with annoying people getting in your way or facing the reality that without them, yu live in a ghost town.

    Spring ,summer, autumn man myself , yes quiet in winter , busy as fu@k in the summer. Peak trading then ,the rest of the time .
    We really do rely on tourist trade in the summer dispite what people say . Managed an an outdoor shop for twenty years . Easter started to pick up , summer did great if it rained but the outdoor life started to pick up more over the years. I know still pretty good now out of it what with hols away tricky . Only thing I'd say the inferstructure is lacking to cope with it and since leaving the EU and G7 it's started to become a bit of a rip off with parking and price rises but we will need it more than ever I feel. I guess if one wasn't effected or work in hospitality they wouldn't understand and complain which I do get . Anyway there's my tuppenyworth xx

    You can't tar all tourists with the same brush! I've visited Cornwall every year for 41 years and know it better than some 'locals'.
    Locals were the people to first sell their homes to outsiders....so blame yourselves or your family history. I don't own a second home by the way.
    I have visited Cornwall every month of the year....it is a place that prople visit all year round.
    What you say about Cornwall could be said about alot of holiday destinations around the UK.

    Economic migrants (is Albania at war then?) .
    Would you classify yourself as a migrant or anyone that is not true Cornish (someone which goes back generations in Cornwall - listen to the accents 😂👂😂).
    Obviously it would be difficult for you to make criticism of economic migrants.
    And what about our own "housing crisis" and "homeless" and where do they originally come from? Are they Cornish? Where they Cornish that sold grans cottage which is now a holiday let and they are now "homeless"? Are they migrants from England that wants a better life by the beach?
    The reality is Wendall is connected or benefits from tourists.. Take the guy that works at Jewson and all the building work you complained about at the start. How much work is associated with holiday let's or apartments being built.

      I’ve certainly been made to feel like an outsider and migrant in my own nation of the UK in the comments to these videos over the last two years. You have asked a lot of questions above.. I tend to judge people on a case by case individual basis rather than generalise. We know nothing of the suffering of any of those that walk the streets when we pass them on first impressions.

      There is a more ugly nasty side which exists in Wales and Scotland to a greater extent = hate English because of history, and some want to be separatists in Cornwall or "locals only" minority (is it a minority? ) .
      Although I'm not sure in Cornwall because they are mostly English, so the dislike for incomers or outsider is based on what as incomers themselves ?
