Water

The Helford River is by far the most popular waterway for boat trips in the south west of Cornwall. Tiny sandy beaches, sub-tropical flora and thick woodland creep down to the water on every side, creating a magical environment. It’s always a lively stretch of water, thronging with pleasure boats and working vessels alike. The coast around the Lizard can catch some pretty wild weather, so if you’re planning to get into the water, you need to choose your spot carefully. That said the weather, combined with the rocky coastline, has given keen divers numerous wrecks to explore. Porthleven is the most famous surf spot here, although if you are a beginner, head for the north coast - Gwithian is a good break for learners.
