The man, believed to be in his late 20s, was found on Par Beach near St Austell on Saturday evening and died later in hospital.
A 20-year-old man was also being held, police said.
"We want to talk to anyone who may have seen a violent altercation near a bench between the beach and the holiday village sometime before 9.30 p.m. on Saturday night," said the senior investigating officer, Detective Superintendent Steve Carey.
