Local Attractions
Discover one of the world’s most spectacular beach, famous for its serpentine stacks, islands, caves and turquoise sea. Explore Kynance Cove, head out for a coastal walk and spot seasonal wildlife. Kynance Cove is rightly revered as a Cornish gem. Its white sands, turquoise water and serpentine rocks combine to make it one of the most photographed, filmed and painted beaches in Cornwall. The cove regularly features on lists of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and on a sunny day at low tide you’ll see why it deserves this accolade.
Within a short walk is the pretty little fishing village of Coverack. The harbour here is particularly photogenic with its granite walls, wooden fishing boats and clutch of whitewashed cottages above. This is quite a remote part of the Cornish coast so rarely draws too much of a crowd beyond those staying in the area and a few locals.

Poldhu
Poldhu Cove is one of the most popular beaches on the Lizard Peninsula. Partly because it is less remote than many, but also because it is fantastic, sandy family beach. The cove sits in a quite a deep inlet flanked by cliffs to either side. To the back of the beach are low sand dunes and a reedbeds which are something of a haven to wildlife. Being west facing means Poldhu is quite exposed to the wind and the waves. This is good news for surfers and there can be great waves here. It is also a great place to learn to surf with a school running lessons throughout the summer.
Cornish Seal Sanctuary
The SEA LIFE TRUST Cornish Seal Sanctuary is a charity that rescues and rehabilitates grey seal pups from around the Cornish coastline. When visiting the Sanctuary, you can experience wonderful marine animals up close and personal and learn all about their individual stories.
