Kennack Sands
Kennack Sands is on the Lizard Peninsula, between Cadgwith and Coverack. The fine sand is complimented by the gentle breaking waves. At high tide, the cove has two parts and is separated by a small headland. At low tide, there is a large sandy beach to explore.
There is a cafe, toilets and a private car park (ANPR monitored). The beach has a pebbly high tide line with a large, sandy expanse at low tide. It is ideal for sunbathing and is one of the more popular coves on this list. It is dog friendly.
The day we discovered this cove...
...we were walking from Poltesco Serpentine Works. We picked up the South West Coast Path and enjoyed fabulous views for the whole stretch, arriving at Kennack Sands on a wintry but sunny day. With the tide out, it was almost desserted and a joy to wander.
