A gem of a cove on the eastern side of Lizard Point where a few pretty cottages lead to a steep slipway still used to launch fishing boats.  Although there’s only a small patch of sand at low tide, the water is crystal clear making it great for snorkelling and swimming or the simple pleasures of sitting in the sunshine on the rocks enjoying a picnic. There is a small free carpark half a mile up the road in Landwednack.

Owned by the National Trust, Kynance Cove is well known for its white sand, turquoise seas and spectacular rock stacks.  As the tide goes out caves, islands and pools provide hours of entertainment for families. In peak season Kynance gets very busy with the car park full by mid morning so it’s worth arriving early.  Small cafe and toilets available in summer months only.

Also known as Black Pool Cove this is a family friendly beach with plenty of sand, volleyball, rockpools and a café for refreshments.  Great for surfing and swimming with lifeguards on duty during the summer months.  No dogs between 1st July – 31st August.

Owned by the National Trust Gunwalloe is a gorgeous little cove with a good sized stretch of sand back by dunes with a historic church tucked away at the northern end.  The beach can be quite exposed to Atlantic swells meaning there are surfable waves here but swimming out of season is less safe.  However in the summer there is a lifeguard service making it good family beach.
