Beaches
Discover the best beaches on the Lizard Peninsula and West Cornwall. From hidden coves to sandy bays, enjoy crystal-clear waters and coastal views.
An area of outstanding natural beauty, the Lizard Peninsula is the most southerly point of the British mainland and boasts its own unique landscape and stunning views.. One of the best places in Cornwall for seeing some wildlife, particularly marine life such as seals, dolphins and even the odd whale. With dramatic cliffs shaped by the Atlantic, the Lizard features white sandy beaches and clear turquoise seas. You will discover secret coves and fishing villages and will love the "laid back in time" vibe, whilst still enjoying water sports and more adventurous activities.
Beyond the Lizard, West Cornwall is renowned for its mystical charm, rugged coastline and cream teas (jam first obviously!) Boasting not only the most southerly point, but also the most westerly at Lands End. With lovely towns, villages, beaches, quaint shops, restaurants with fabulous views, and fish and chips by the sea, what's not to like!
