Sennen
Sennen is the most westerly village in England, and Whitesand Bay is a mile long stretch of golden sand, with plenty of rock pools at low tide. Small boats still fish from the cove using traditional lobster pots and handlines. If you're lucky you might be able to pick up some handline caught bass or mackerel fresh off the boat. Dogs are allowed during the quieter months but it's adviseable to check as regulations differ from beach to beach.

Pendeen
On the northern coast of the Penwith peninsula, this little village couldn't get more rural. But it's worth the travel as it is perfectly situated for exploring the stunning coastline that includes Portheras Cove and the Levant mine and engine houses, not forgetting the neighbouring and famous Geevor Tin mine. Don't miss Pendeen Watch, with its lighthouse and unfortunate shipwrecks.

Porthcurno
When the sun shines on Porthcurno, you could be forgiven for thinking that you've somehow stumbled onto a Mediterranean beach. White sand, turquoise sea, amber rocks and high cliffs create a magical atmosphere. This is a destination for those who really want to escape – there are no tacky shops, no ice cream vendors, and no noisy beachfront bars, just one of the most beautiful landscapes you can imagine.
