Portreath & Local Easter Activities
Easter Egg Hunts & Beach Fun
Each Easter week you’ll often find informal egg hunts and family gatherings around Portreath Beach, a short walk from Smugglers Cove. In previous years, community-led hunts have been held right on the sands – keep an eye out for local flyers or social media pages for official dates and times closer to April.
Nature Walks & Treasure Trails
The coast and countryside around Portreath are perfect for little explorers. Grab a springtime checklist and set off on your own Easter treasure hunt along cliff paths or through Tehidy Woods — spotting wildflowers, birds, and maybe even seals basking on the rocks below.
