Poldhu Cove
Sand dunes to play in and level access from the car park make this a good choice for families with young children. You will find a cafe and shop here plus toilets and lifeguards in summer. Its a very popular spot for surfers and can get busy during August.
3
Kynance Cove
Probably the most photographed beach in the area - the rugged, rocky coastline, caves and gleaming white sand make it one of Cornwall's prettiest, take note though, the beach is totally covered at high tide. National Trust car parking is available with access to the beach via a steep gravelled path. Cafe and toilets are available during the summer months.
4
The Paris Hotel
You will find both a traditional pub and Oceanview restaurant here serving a wide range of food. With outside seating and views of the sea it's a popular place to sit and watch the world go by. Parking is limited and it does get busy in summer. A good stopping off point for coastal path walkers.
5
Carleon Cove
Between Kennack Sands and Cadgwith. A rocky cove where the remains of a pilchard fishery can still be seen.
6
Smugglers Fish and Chip Shop
Locally caught fish, 'n' chips to take away or eat in the small restaurant.
7
Housel Bay
This attractive little sandy cove is reached by a steep path and is a 15 minute walk from the car park at Lizard Point. Be careful, it can be cut off at high tide.
8
The Top House Inn
Welcome to England's most Southerly Inn! Serving lunch and dinner you can choose to dine in either the bar, dining room or outside terrace (weather permitting)
9
Mullion Cove
This pretty harbour dates back to the late 1800s and the old net store and pilchard cellar can still be seen there today. It is still a working harbour, now under National Trust ownership. The sea walls protect it from the winds that can whip across from Mount's Bay, making it quite a sheltered spot. Mullion head is a breeding ground for many seabirds.
10
The Potters Bar
A good stopping off point if you are in the area or walking the coastal path. A small pub and good for refreshments as the area is pretty rural, close to Kennack Sands.
