LOTS OF GREAT BEACHES AND SECRET COVES TO DISCOVER

If you love cove hunting and beaches, then Cornwall has everything you could hope for, with a unique and magical coastline with over 400 beaches that are accessible on foot. Collectively they are the most varied in character of anywhere in the UK, and we believe in the world!

The North Coast has iconic sandy beaches backed by cliffs or sand dunes and are exposed to the Atlantic swell and wind producing some great surfing opportunities, whist here on the South Coast we have more sheltered and wonderful coves backed by a legendary coastal landscape with picturesque fishing harbours and stunning estuaries.

The Lizard Peninsula alone offers such a variety of fantastic beaches within easy reach just waiting to be explored and in some cases, discovered.

If you are looking for beaches to take your dog do have a look at THIS website.

Coverack Cove

This beach is particularly good for families. Children love fishing in the rock pools at mid-tide, creating sand sculptures at low-tide, and swimming in the clear blue sea. Windsurfing, paddle boarding and kayaking are especially popular here, and beach activities are organised by the village during the summer holidays.

This beach accessed via steps and is Dog Friendly all year round.
Parking and toilets are at North Corner.
Shops, galleries, pub, cafes and ice creams available in the village.

MEARS BEACH (PORTHBEER)

A large sandy beach is exposed here at low-tide. This beach is popular with local residents as it is only a 15 minute stroll along the coast path from Coverack.

This beach is accessed down a walk way from the coast path, and is close to the Terence Coventry Sculpture Park which is great for a visit too.

Dog Friendly all year round.
No facilities due to the remote location.

KENNACK SANDS

This beach is particularly good for families and the sand is still there at high-tide! The beach is flat with a combination of pebbles and sand. There are rock formations for rock pooling, and good access for kayaks. Lifeguards patrol this beach in the summer months.

One side of Kennack Sands is Dog Friendly.
Pay and Display car parking.
Cafe and public toilets available.

What our customers say

Excellent Site with Everything you Need
Very hiker-friendly site with all the facilities you need on a tough hike on the coast path. Spotless facilities, plenty of showers, loos, washing up sinks and a laundry. Lots of helpful details such as washing line, little shop, device charging and lovely well looked after level pitches. Really kind touches were providing me with a table and chair, as a backpacker these little luxuries make a huge difference. It is close to the coast path and you pass another campsite, but I felt it was worth a little extra walk for such a lovely stay.

A Little Piece of Heaven
My 5th consecutive year at Little Trevothan and that should say it all. Clean, tidy, friendly and the owners are a joy to deal with. They have a separate play area for kids so no balls hitting your tent! There's a quiet time to cut out late noise. It's not Butlins, it's just peace and tranquility, and perfectly located for getting about.

We Never Want to Go Home
Our 5th stay here, absolutely love this place and location. Spotlessly clean and comfy warm caravans. If you want restful relaxing quiet holidays this site is ideal. Had some lovely days out at Mevagissey, Falmouth and Lizard. Some great food eaten at Wavecrest Cafe, Roskillys Farm and in Coverack The Paris pub and the Lifeboat House never disappoint. Thank you.
