Lovely sandy cove with a chance of seal spotting. Less busy than the main beaches. Park at Pendeen Lighthouse (free parking but go early!) and walk the coastpath down to the beach. It's a short walk across uneven paths and fields, so I wouldn't recommend taking too much to carry! You can stop at Boat Cove on the way or follow the path to the right to continue straight on to the beach.

Beautiful beach - but arrive early as the car park fills up quickly. Walk up the path from the beach to explore the Minack theatre perched on the clifftop or visit the PK Porthcurno communications museum.

Plenty of sand and space at Mounts Bay. Park in Marazion and explore the gift shops, galleries, cafes and pubs. We like the deck at the Godolphin as you can enjoy the view across to St Michael's Mount.

Sightseeing and Local Attractions
Places to explore both indoors and outdoors
Head into Marazion and on days when the castle is open there is plenty of parking available. If the gide is out you can walk across the cobbled causeway, or catch a boat across when the tide is in. It is a National Trust property so non-members haveto pay to enter the castle & grounds. It is free to walk over and wander the village and harbour at the bottom of the Mount.

Wooded valley the kids will love. Great for when it's not beach weather. Bridges over the stream and rope swings - if you're feeling brave!

Working fishing cove with smal rocky beach. Film location for Poldark with pretty little cottages. Park in the few spaces on the road just before the cove or park at Treen and walk down through the woods or follow the coastpath. Lovely little valley.
