Activity
Kayaking – really something that has to be done, we are on the edge of Carrick Roads, a massive expanse of sheltered inland estuary where the river Fal exits between Pendennis Castle and St Mawes Castle. Launching can be found easily at Point Quay or else head for Loe Beach and hire your water kit from Loe Beach Watersports (check out the webcam).
Sailing – if you enjoy sailing or want to learn, contact Loe Beach water sports and book yourself a lesson or a boat to sail.

If you need to hire a bike then this is a very easy a local location. Hire a bike here, cycle up to the north coast which is only about 10 miles. The café here is really good as well, great to sit down at the end of a ride and have a bit of cake and coffee.

A lovely beach with some great rocks to scramble over at low tide. You can make it all the way from Trevaunance to Trevellas Cove that you might have seen in our photos.

This is a really lovely place, get to see the seals at close hand. It's great fun just watching them bob around and do their thing... It's quite amazing to see how they have such different personalities.

Beautiful, if you were to paint a picture of the idyllic coastal town, then this is it. Highly recommend parking at Lelant Saltings or St Erth and taking the train, the views are amazing (if you are heading to St Ives, sit on the RIGHT side for the best view).

Stunning. It will be busy in the peak season, so get there early. Some great walks along the coast. A recommendation for walking is park in Mullion and walk all the way round to Lizard, have some fish and chips or a drink in the pub then catch the bus back to Mullion.

A very pretty and VERY famous harbour. It gets super busy in the summer. Home to the Tate St Ives. Best plan is to park at St Erth and catch the train taking in some amazing views. Top tip - St Erth to St Ives - sit on the right side, that's the sea side and best views.

About 1.5 miles down the main road, in Perranarworthal you need to drive really due to the busy road although there is a way of walking via some footpaths. A really popular pub with lots of local history linked to it.

On the side of the creak near Mylor Bridge it's not to be missed. A pub right on the waters edge, in fact in the water! It has a long jetty that runs out into the water to sit on, eat and drink the day away. It’s exposed due to it jutting out into the water so we’d recommend taking some warm clothing with you to fully enjoy your visit. Great food and amazing location.

A 20 - 30 min walk past the Old Quaker house at Come to Good and you will find the Punch Bowl, a larger pub with plenty of indoor seating and a popular place to eat, especially the Sunday roasts.
