Priest's Cove

This rocky little fishing cove sits next to England’s only cape, Cape Cornwall; climb the cape and see if you can spot the point where the Atlantic currents split. A manmade tidal pool makes a good, safe place for children to swim and there is plenty of rockpooling to be done. There are parking and loos nearby and, in the summer, a snack van.

Cape Sports

Every year, around midsummer, Cape Sports Day is held here, which involves the locals getting up to all sorts of antics including a swim to the Brisons Rocks (which lie about about a mile off shore), 'Viking' boat races and flour bomb fights. Great fun!
