Cornwall is one of the UK’s most photographed destinations and it’s easy to see why.

From golden beaches and dramatic cliffs to charming fishing villages and historic landmarks, every turn reveals another postcard-worthy scene.

If you’re staying at Tregoad Holiday Park, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore some of the most Instagram-worthy spots in Cornwall, ideal for capturing those unforgettable holiday snaps. So, grab your camera (or phone!) and discover these stunning locations to make your memories last a lifetime.

Looe Harbour - The Classic Cornish View

Just minutes from Tregoad Holiday Park, Looe Harbour offers one of the most charming backdrops in Cornwall. Colourful boats bobbing in the water, narrow streets lined with traditional cottages, and reflections dancing on the tide, it’s the perfect place to snap a classic seaside photo.

For a different angle, wander across the bridge to West Looe and look back towards the harbour. Early morning or sunset light adds a warm, golden glow that makes every shot feel magical.

Talland Bay - Hidden Coastal Beauty

Tucked between Looe and Polperro, Talland Bay is a peaceful cove that feels like a secret hideaway. Its turquoise waters, rugged cliffs, and rock pools make it a dream spot for photography,  especially when the tide is out and the bay stretches wide.

It’s also dog-friendly all year round, so your furry friend can join the photos too!

Polperro - Cornwall’s Most Photogenic Fishing Village

A visit to Polperro feels like stepping into a painting. The narrow, winding streets, whitewashed cottages, and picturesque harbour make it one of the most photographed villages in the South West.

Walk up to Polperro’s coastal path viewpoint for a stunning wide shot of the harbour below or capture the colourful boats from the quayside as you enjoy a traditional Cornish pasty.

Lantic Bay - A Hidden Gem with Caribbean Vibes

If you’re looking for a more secluded photo spot, Lantic Bay is a must-visit. Just a short drive from Looe, this National Trust beach is tucked between cliffs, with a steep walk down that rewards you with incredible panoramic views.

From above, the water glows in shades of blue and green that look almost tropical - perfect for that “is this really the UK?” kind of photo.

Bodmin Moor - Wild and Atmospheric Landscapes

Swap the sea for sweeping countryside and dramatic skies at Bodmin Moor, around 40 minutes from Tregoad. With ancient tors, mysterious rock formations, and wide-open views, it’s an inspiring location for photographers who love a bit of mood and drama.

Try The Cheesewring or Golitha Falls for particularly striking shots. The latter is a woodland waterfall that looks especially beautiful after rain.

Whitsand Bay - Endless Horizons

Stretching for miles, Whitsand Bay offers breathtaking views and wide-open sands that go on forever. It’s a fantastic place for both landscape and family photos, especially at golden hour when the light reflects off the sea.

From the clifftop above, you’ll find plenty of vantage points for sweeping coastal panoramas, just remember your camera strap on breezy days!

Looe Island (St George’s Island) - A Unique Perspective

If you fancy something truly special, take a boat trip from Looe out to Looe Island. This small, wildlife-rich nature reserve offers rare views back towards the mainland and a peaceful escape from the bustle of the harbour.

It’s a brilliant spot for nature photography too. You might capture seabirds, seals, and even dolphins on a calm day.

Tregoad Holiday Park - Your Holiday Destination with a View

Don’t forget, some of the best photo opportunities are right on your doorstep. Tregoad Holiday Park overlooks the rolling Cornish countryside, with sea views in the distance and picturesque walking trails nearby.

Capture a sunrise from your private decking, snap your family by the lakes, or take a sunset selfie before heading to Stargazy Bar & Grill for dinner. Every moment at Tregoad is a memory worth capturing.
