Really depends what you're looking for OP, plenty of moorland if you want somewhere quiet, but Penzance, St Ives, Hayle are all nice coastal areas & Bude is worth considering if you are looking for a beach based break. Newquay very commercialised but good for surfing with plenty of beaches.
Looe is quite nice, as is Mevagissey, Fowey, St Mawes & Falmouth on the S coast.
Truro is the main shopping centre & fairly central. If anyone suggests St Austell, I'd ignore them. Very little left there now by way of shops
A few National Trust properties and Pendennis, St Mawes, At Catherine's (Fowey) & Launceston castles are all English Heritage. Usually plenty of things going on in Summer through Cornwall.
Sadly, prices for everything has shot up, especially accommodation so do your research. | |||

Generally the north coast has the big sandy beaches but very commercialised. South Coast is more picturesque with lots of little villages and coves. | |||

"and a nude beach not far away at Downderry" Not far away is a bit subjective... if you are staying in Penzance, you're looking at around hour and a half each way - and that is with the A30 behaving itself! | |||

"and a nude beach not far away at Downderry" Arthur's beach near Falmouth if you don't mind a bit of a hike. | |||
