Kennack Sands
beachKennack Sands is a memorable stretch of Cornwall coast near St Ruan, known for its sand, Atlantic light and easy access to the sea. Depending on the tide and weather, it can feel either wild and dramatic or calm enough for a slower beach day, with coastal paths and cliff views adding to the appeal.
0.8 km away
Lizard Village
tourismLizard Village is one of those Cornish places that works both as a base and as an attraction in its own right, with enough character to justify a detour near Housel Bay. Harbour life, local food, sea air and the surrounding walks usually matter as much as any single sight.

Lizard Lighthouse Heritage Centre
historicAt the southernmost point of mainland Britain, Lizard Lighthouse has warned mariners away from the treacherous ledges since 1751. The heritage centre in the engine room tells the story of the lighthouse keepers and the many wrecks that occurred on this notoriously difficult stretch of coast before the light was built. On clear days, the views from the headland are extraordinary.

Polpeor Cove
naturalPolpeor Cove is a worthwhile natural stop near Housel Bay, valued for open views, sea air and the kind of landscape that gives Cornwall much of its identity. It rewards slow exploration, whether that means a clifftop walk, a pause at a viewpoint or simply taking in the changing weather and light.

Kynance Cove
naturalRegarded by many as the most beautiful cove in England, Kynance's serpentine rock stacks, turquoise sea and white sand are of a quality that seems almost tropical. The serpentine — the rare green and red stone found only here and in Oman — gives the rocks their extraordinary colour. The National Trust manages the approach, and the cafe above the cove is famous for its crab sandwiches.
