Sand dunes to play in and level access from the car park make this a good choice for families with young children. You will find a cafe and shop here plus toilets and lifeguards in summer. Its a very popular spot for surfers and can get busy during August.
Probably the most photographed beach in the area - the rugged, rocky coastline, caves and gleaming white sand make it one of Cornwall's prettiest, take note though, the beach is totally covered at high tide. National Trust car parking is available with access to the beach via a steep gravelled path. Cafe and toilets are available during the summer months.
Between Kennack Sands and Cadgwith. A rocky cove where the remains of a pilchard fishery can still be seen.
This attractive little sandy cove is reached by a steep path and is a 15 minute walk from the car park at Lizard Point. Be careful, it can be cut off at high tide.
This pretty harbour dates back to the late 1800s and the old net store and pilchard cellar can still be seen there today. It is still a working harbour, now under National Trust ownership. The sea walls protect it from the winds that can whip across from Mount's Bay, making it quite a sheltered spot. Mullion head is a breeding ground for many seabirds.
Lack of facilities makes this lovely, sandy beach a good choice if you are after some peace and quiet. Park in Mullion and walk down from the village.
A beautiful little slice of Cornish history; a small fleet of boats still fish from this pretty little cove.
Park at the National Trust car park and the sandy beach is a short walk away. A shop serving snacks and ice cream is open during the summer months and toilets are available. A popular surfing beach.
This tiny cove next to the Lizard Point was home to the Lizard's first Lifeboat station.
Sandy family beach; good for rockpooling at low tide. Facilities include toilets and refreshments.
