Cornwall in September is one of the UK’s best-kept travel secrets. With the summer crowds gone and the weather often warmer and drier than August, this is the ideal month for a quiet Cornish getaway.  Whether you’re after peaceful beaches, dog-friendly walks, or a relaxing staycation in Coverack, September offers the perfect blend of calm and beauty — and there’s no better base for your trip than Little Trevothan Camping and Caravan Park.

Enjoy Warmer Weather and Peaceful Beaches

The first thing you’ll notice in September in Cornwall is the peace. The peak tourist season is over, meaning quieter beaches where you can enjoy the sand almost to yourself.

The sea is also allegedly at its warmest in September, making it the perfect time for:

• Wild swimming
• Paddleboarding
• A quick dip after a coastal walk

You’ll also find that the South West Coast Path is less busy, giving you space to truly appreciate Cornwall’s breathtaking coastal views.

Stay at Little Trevothan Camping and Caravan Park

Located just a short walk or drive from Coverack, Little Trevothan Camping and Caravan Park is the perfect choice for a September Cornwall holiday. The park offers:

• Spacious touring pitches and comfortable static caravans
• A peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere
• Easy access to the Lizard Peninsula’s most stunning beaches and coastal walks
• Dog-friendly facilities so your four-legged friend can join in the fun

In September, you can enjoy the park’s relaxed vibe without the peak-season crowds, making it an ideal base to unwind after a day of exploring.

Dog-Friendly Adventures from 1st September

If you’re bringing your furry friend, September is ideal. From 1st September, seasonal dog bans on many of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches are lifted, meaning your dog can run free on the sand and splash in the sea.

Coverack’s beach is perfect for canine-friendly strolls, and Little Trevothan is dog-friendly too — so your pet will love it just as much as you do.

Quieter Roads and Relaxed Journeys

One of the biggest perks of a September Cornwall holiday is the ease of travel. With far fewer visitors on the roads, journeys are smoother, parking is easier, and you can explore without the stress of peak-season traffic.

This makes day trips to Cornwall’s best attractions far more enjoyable, whether you’re heading to Kynance Cove, Cadgwith, or Goonhilly Downs.
