Beaches
Coverack itself is the archetypal Cornish fishing village with its harbour and expanse of golden sand at low tide. There's plenty to do on the beach from watersports to rock pooling to an old fashioned family game of cricket. At high tide crab fishing off the habour wall or simply watching the fishing boats and pleasure craft come in and out can provide plenty of entertainment!
Kennack Sands is between Coverack and the Lizard. It has two beaches, the popular Western Beach and the more secluded Eastern Beach. Western Beach now has a lifeguard service in the summer to cater for the surfers who enjoy some good waves there.
Kynance Cove near the Lizard Point has recently been hailed by the Sunday Times (Travel Section 3/8/08) as probably the best beach in the world!
"There's a random perfection about Kynance...Looking down from the clifftop, caressed by a warm, honeysuckle-scented breeze tingling with the laughter of children, you can see straight to the pale bed of the jade-green sea. In the distance, the ocean is a deep blue and all around emerald-green terraces of lush grass step down to a golden beach riven by outcrops of serpentine rock."
This stunning cove is owned by the National Trust and is beautiful at any time of the year, whatever the weather.
The area has many other beaches and coves such as Cadgwith, Gunwalloe, Mullion, Poldhu, St. Anthony to mention just a few. The beaches of Penwith and the North Coast are only a short drive away too.
