Here are a few of our favourites...
• Watching for seals in the cove – one
or two come in most days – if you can’t find them they may be hauled up on the rocks below the old coastguard
look out, slightly along the coastal path towards Land’s End.
• Swimming at Porthchapel Beach – a 15 minute walk along the coastal path towards Porthcurno. There is quite a steep climb down, but the beach is definitely worth it! It was recently rated one of the Top Ten
Beaches in the UK by The Times. But, beware of swimming when the tide is going out, as the currents can be strong.
• Walking to Land’s End – along
the way take the left hand coastal path, which follows the cliff line, and you will find a blow hole (although it only really
blows in winter). Also look out for Nanjizal Bay, another unspoilt cove.
• The Minack Theatre – book early, take a picnic and wrap up warm! Always an experience, whatever is on.
• Pasties from the shop in the cove, best enjoyed
on the rocks!
• Visiting the Tate Gallery in St. Ives.
• Wandering along the front at Sennen Cove, particularly visiting the lifeboat and the “Round House” gallery.
• “Beach” Restaurant in Sennen Cove (01736 871191) – great food out on the terrace at lunch and
inside in the evenings.
• Day trip to the Scilly Isles – either by helicopter or by boat (The Scillonian) from Penzance.
• Unexpected visitors – we have recently spotted basking sharks and
there are many rare birds!
