Chocolate-box pretty, Coverack has everything you want in a Cornish village - a picture-postcard harbour, a crescent of sandy beach and a friendly pub. Car parking is limited and it's best to use the pay and display on the outskirts of the village and walk in. You'll find several cafes serving food all day during high season.
A real hub of activity, Mullion has cafes, pubs, craft centres and shops. The cove and harbour can be found a short walk away with access at low tide to the beach through a cave.
Tucked away on the tip of the wild Lizard peninsula, Cadgwith is a gorgeous harbour village with chocolate box' charm by the bucketful. Thatched cottages line the narrow streets with evocative names like Kiddleywink' and Dolphin Cottage'. The friendly village pub, the Cadgwith Cove Inn, is steeped in history and makes a great place for an evening meal – much of the seafood on the menu is landed at the cove itself. Pop in on a Friday night and you might just find yourself joining in with the weekly gig by the Cadgwith Singers.
The Lizard peninsula has an inspiring sense of isolation - surrounded on three sides by the sea, you really do feel you've found the edge of the world here. The Lizard village stands at the most southerly point in England and is the ideal starting place for a walk around the wild Lizard coastline, which is dotted by stunning, deserted coves. It's said that the best Cornish pasties in the county come from the Lizard Pasty Shop; they are so popular that during the summer you need to order in advance.
