Penzance Promenade and Battery Rocks
naturalThe promenade at Penzance sweeps along the shore of Mount's Bay from the art-deco Jubilee Pool lido to the harbour, with St Michael's Mount rising from the water directly ahead. It is one of the great seaside walks in England — particularly on winter days when Atlantic storms drive spray across the road and the Mount turns black against a pewter sky.

Jubilee Pool
leisureThe largest seawater lido in Britain, Penzance's art-deco Jubilee Pool opened in 1935 and occupies a dramatic triangular site on the promenade jutting into Mount's Bay. The pool was severely damaged by storms in 2014 and rebuilt by community fundraising; one section now operates as a year-round geothermally heated pool. Swimming here with St Michael's Mount visible across the bay is an experience unlike any other.
