The Cornish coastline has long since been a popular destination for caravanners, and the South Western county has been officially commended as a superior holiday destination.
It was recently crowned Best UK Holiday County or Region at the British Travel Awards, which took place last week.
Cornwall finished ahead of runners-up Devon and the Lake District by some distance in the voting and had more reason to celebrate when St Ives was named Best UK Seaside Town.
Local attraction the Eden Project was also recognised when it scooped a silver award for Best UK Day Out Experience.
VisitCornwall head of tourism Malcom Bell spoke of his pride at accepting the awards on behalf of the area.
“To win at both county and town level is a huge achievement and the fact that the awards are based on public opinion make them even more significant,” he said.
Mr Bell added that it is the third time in five years that Cornwall has triumphed at the awards.
