Kynance Cove is absolutely spectacular. The water is a beautiful mix of blue and green, the rock formations are incredible to climb and admire. There are also caves to explore. The most important thing is - CHECK TIDE TIMES before you go! The cove completely changes with the tide. When it’s out, you can reach the second part of the beach with all the amazing rocks and caves. The best time to go is around the lowest tide point (you can find this easily by Googling “Kynance Cove tide times”). The best time to arrive is about 30–60 minutes before low tide is shown online. That’s when access to both beaches is possible. The tide starts to come back after about 2h ( from the time it was at it is lowest point) and can quickly cut off access to the caves and second beach. People are often swimming and playing in the water completely unaware that the tide is coming in, as this is not visible from every side of the beach. When a tide chart says for example- “High tide 3:30pm,” that’s the peak. The water starts rising about 3hours before that covering more land, so you have to be careful not to be cut off by the tide.

Absolutely stunning views as you walk down to the beach, worth stopping just to take it all in. The walk down (and back up!) is a bit of a hike, so wear comfy shoes, but the beach itself is peaceful and beautiful. A great spot if you don’t mind the climb.

Speechless, the descent is doable for most (not like the climb down to Lantic bay if that helps) once you reach the bottom it’s nothing but small to large smooth rocks so good shoes and confident footing helps. Once the tide is out the beach is exposed which leads to another world of coves, caves and water perfect for swimming when the waves aren’t crashing in on a rough day. Go for it, you won’t regret! (Toilets available at the car park)

Simply stunning and unique (but time your visit to avoid the crowds) Probably the most beautiful beach in the UK - but get there early! We arrived about 9.30am, it was fairly quiet, parking was easy (parking is cash or Ringo). The walk down was fun - less so if you have prams as it’s rocky but my 5 year old coped well - it takes less than ten minutes. We were taken aback by the view as you approach the shoreline, its stunning - with white sand and warm, clear sea. We loved exploring the different sections of beach as well as the caves and inlets. It was relatively quiet and we had large sections of water and sand to ourselves (some of the small beaches we did actually have to ourselves). We had drinks at the cafe, which had plenty of outdoor seats and no queue. However, once the tide came in around midday/1pm and closed off a large section of beach it became very loud and crowded. We left around this time, with lots of people only just arriving - on our way back to the car we turned to see the cove … which was now absolutely rammed and did not look fun!

I visited Kynance Cove on Friday 8 August 2025 with my partner and three children. I drove in from Lizard Point Holiday Park which is only a ten minute drive away. It is signposted and easy enough to find the carpark. To experience the full beauty of this beach and to make a day of it I would recommend visiting on a day when it is low tide as this is a tidal beach. The low tide was around 11.30am during my visit with high tide around 5pm so this was the perfect day to visit. You can google the tide times. I would also recommend arriving early and being prepared to avoid the masses. On arrival staff were directing people on where to park in an organised fashion. There is the main carpark then a large overflow carpark with ample spaces to park and you are directed where to park on busy days during peak times. I paid five pounds for up to four hours. It is ten pounds for up to eight hours and free to park if you are a member of the national trust. You would need your NT card to scan. It is cash only or download the Just Park app before you arrive as the signal is hit and miss here. There are toilets on the main carpark and toilets down at the cafe on the beach. The beach is located about a ten minute walk from the carparks with staff to assist anyone with questions. The main route down to the beach is not suitable for prams or beach trolleys. After a few minutes there are steps to navigate and on entrance to the beach it is rocky and uneven. I advise to have a rucksack or suitable bag and to to take it easy with children. Its hard going on the way back up especially if its a hot day. It is well worth it though. The views on the way down are stunning and reveals the full beauty of Kynance Cove. When at the bottom you are surrounded by beautiful serpentine cliffs and rocks which splits the beach up into different sections with different parts of the sea to go in if you wish to. The sea is turquoise and its such a picturesque beach. There is plenty of rockpools and caves for the children to play in and there are plenty of areas to set up on the sand. Its a beautiful place and gives you the feeling you are secluded on a secret beach that only reveals itself at certain times. This beach is not lifeguarded and the tide can come in very quickly and if unaware you could become trapped in areas but people were aware of this when I was there. There is signage to make people aware. There is a mermaid pool at the far end of the beach where some of the adults were jumping into from around 25 feet by climbing up a rock. It is well known for this. The access to this is quite tricky with younger children as you have to wade through the sea at around three feet deep and next to the cliffs it can be quite rough with the waves crashing onto them. There is a cafe located a couple of minutes walk up uneven terrain at the entrance to the beach. It sells ice cream and other food such as chips etc and the toilets are located near to the cafe with a little shower outside. The cafe are helpful with any allergies and will try to offer options. They seemed educated on coeliacs as my daughter is a coeliac. They offered her ice cream separate from the back to avoid cross contamination. The tide came in quick and we spent three and a half hours on the beach before the trek back up. It is well worth the visit to this famous cove and the views and scenery are beautiful. There are also coastal walks you can do and some people seemed to be arriving later to do this as all of it will be submerged at high tide. On exiting the carpark it can be quite tight due to how the staff pack the cars in but we had no problems.

The national trust car park is open all hours so perfect for late evening/early morning visits, plenty of parking spaces available within the main car park and overflow. Kynance Cove itself is stunning and one of the highlights of our Cornwall trip. Such a nice place to swim, or have a scenic coffee break. Some nice coastal walks surrounding the area, with pathways to Lizard point.

We all loved this Cove. It was on my daughter's bucket list to do. While we were on holiday in Cornwall. The café was very busy but very well run.

Had some absolutely beautiful paintings from a range of different artists. Many with smaller prints, copies and cards. The woman who served me was wonderful and helped and showed the page quality when choosing a sketch book. There’s definitely something for everyone there, in artwork and also art supplies. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Lovely little art shop! Lots of amazing pieces and quite reasonably priced too. We ended up buying a print, as we like to support local businesses. Looks great in my home.😊

My wife and I have been coming here for many years, and since our daughter was born, she has accompanied us and Anthony and Marjorie have given her art lessons - Marjorie has also taught my wife to create 3D gel pictures. We have a collection of prints, originals and copies which look superb at home. The gallery itself is open and inviting and Anthony and Marjorie are so warm and friendly - they are very accommodating and will spend time with customers explaining their work and showing how they achieve the results. Cannot recommend enough.

We stumbled across this Gallery completely by accident and how glad I am that I did. The art work was stunning and I could have spent a very long time walking round. My husband is a pencil artist and he spoke with Anthony about branching out into colour work. Received some great advice and bought the materials he needed at a really good price. We had gone to the gallery with our 4 children and while this has caused a negative reaction in numerous shopkeepers / business owners over the years this was not the case at all. My children were treated as people with kindness, consideration and compassion. Their questions answered and their small purchases processed with politeness and equal gravitas to any adult. My only wail is that we didn't know the Gallery was there sooner! We had driven past multiple times. The place is an absolute gem and deserves a very large sign out the front. If you are looking to take something home from Cornwall to remind you of your trip, then you need to visit this gallery because what you will find inside is a far cry from what we found everywhere else. Thank you for the time that you took with us. It is appreciated. :)

I have just purchased my third painting from Anthony. I am really pleased with the colours to complement my decoration. It is a pleasure to visit Gallery Anthony , there is always something new to view at the Gallery. Here's hoping for a successful season Anthony & Majorie.

We visited Gallery Anthony in 2015 and attended a class led by Anthony showing us how to use Caran D'Ache crayon to create a moonlit seascape. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned a lot. We left feeling inspired to be more creative and I have continued to use watercolour and the crayons ever since to create paintings and family greetings cards. Well worth a visit and what a lovely patient and inspiring teacher Anthony is!

We have several of Anthony's paintings and had one commissioned especially for our 25th wedding anniversary, a black and white seascape which is amazing. He is so talented and we can't rate his work highly enough

Bought a coffee from the horse trailer, friendly and welcoming staff. Serving Cornish coffee. The shop itself offers a variety of food, drinks and the usual beach shop accessories. Picnic tables outside for patrons to use.

I’m honestly sad and sickened by how I was treated over something as small as an alcohol-free cider. I ordered the cider knowing it was alcohol-free — that wasn’t the issue. The problem was that it just tasted terrible. I gave it a fair shot, but I couldn’t finish it. I politely asked if I could exchange it for something else (even something cheaper), or just get a refund, and was told flat-out no. No empathy, no offer to help, just a cold, “we can’t do that.” For a drink I clearly wasn’t enjoying, that I wasn’t asking to return unopened or untouched — just swap it for something else. I wasn’t being difficult, just human. It’s incredibly frustrating to spend money somewhere that doesn’t care whether or not you walk away satisfied. A simple act of kindness or flexibility would’ve gone a long way. But apparently, once they have your money, that’s the end of the conversation. Disappointed is an understatement.

Great place for brunch, especially the bacon baps. Good oat latte as well...and hot chocolate. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Nice range of branded goods in their little shop. I bought a great sweatshirt today and my wife got a really nice bobble hat. We love Poldhu beach, especially for swimming at sunset.

Amazing little café right on Poldhu beach. All seating is outdoors on benches, so you’re right by the sand with a stunning view. Coffee is excellent and it’s a perfect spot to relax by the sea.

Nice cafe situated next to the beach at Poldhu. Selection of drinks, cakes and small meals available. Slightly disappointed with the coffees, as they all tasted the same (despite ordering different versions between us). Cakes looked good and the biscoff brownie was superb. Lovely place when the sun is out.

Always a great reception from the warm & friendly staff. A good selection of food & drinks - although they do provide a Small vegan range, if they had a couple more options it would be spot on. (*My wife & son are vegan due to food intolerance) They provide a decent sized seating area by the café or you've got the beach to sit on. Also, they're open 363 days of the year! 👌

The strangest thing happened today. After a few great visits in the past, with no complaints, today we were virtually alone on the beach and when we got to the cafe only two tables were taken. One had already been served. The other ordered after us. We ordered two portions of chips and they never came. After 30 minutes we got a refund and left hungry. Puzzling and frustrating.

Informative place with short film, information boards and equipment to read and try. All run by local Amateur radio society. Free to enter. Donations appreciated. Free parking. Also short walk to Marconi memorial on the south West coast path

Fantastic place, got to check website yo catch it open but volunteers are superb guides and really learned a lot about the first International wireless transmission in the world, sent from Cornwall to St John's in Newfoundland.... 👍

Small but fine museum of a little-known pioneer! Super committed staff explain patiently and precisely. It's unbelievable what a 22-year-old engineer was able to achieve back then!

Very interesting, plenty of interactive games, the volunteers love their job it overflows with enthusiasm.

A must visit for anyone who has an interest in Communication history. They're open from 1.30pm and is run by volunteers from the local Ham Radio Club. They're all keen to show you around and you can donate or buy a souvenir of your visit. It is free entry. The Marconi Centre rents from National Trust who own the site. There is an excellent beach to visit afterwards at the bottom called Poldhu cove with golden sand and rock pools.

Very informative visit ran by volunteers. Not open everyday, so check before you go . Free entry , just a donations box . Had a good hour reading and trying out more code.

Lovely location and very interesting. Local radio hams run the museum and are very knowledgeable and helpful. Suggest check it is open for full experience but worth a visit to see where it all kicked off at the beginning of the 20th C and now we're getting signals from deep space.

Always enjoy visiting here , we live in north Cornwall so like to come down to the lizard peninsula when we can . Bit windy on our visit but doesn't takeaway how stunning it is . Easy access to the coast path from here. NT carpark and toilets , gorgeous little chuch on the beach almost

What ever the weather, sunshine or wind a lovely place to visit. Quaint old church, beautiful cove love to see the waves lashing up when the wind is up.

Fantastic beach lovely place to spend the day and there is a little Café to get something to eat and drink

Lovely little beach with great views if you walk up the hill beside it

Lovely coves. National Trust cafe, delicious. Lovely coastal walks.

We came here yesterday and we really enjoyed our time at the beach. The water was quite calm when we came in but it started to get a bit more wavier. They have 2 beaches one is dog friendly which is great. The beach is guarded so you will feel safe. The beach is a combination of sand and small rocks. This is a surfers go to place. Nice clean bluish water. There is also a small are to trek so you can have the best of both.

A lovely place to visit & walk the dogs so natural & unspoilt my favourite. A hut to get coffee & snacks & toilets well worth a visit.Plenty of parking in National Trust car park too. It's such a beautiful little church to visit just off the beach so peaceful.

One of the best walks we've found in Cornwall. Safe for dogs, and children; stunning scenery. Easy, mostly flat walk.

A beautiful peaceful walk with stunning scenery. From Penrose carpark to the beach and around the lake back to the carpark. The return journey along the lake pathways is very muddy in winter and you do need waterproof walking shoes or wellies as mud can be quite thick in places. One of the best walks we've done so far

A beautiful unspoilt area,free if any commercial activity. Accessed by foot from Highburrow or the Coast Path. But swimming,fishing etc are strongly discouraged due to unpredictable tidal activity.

Absolutely beautiful! Lots of fantastic walks and the scenery is amazing!

This is such a beautiful place. You would almost feel like you were abroad. The sea was so clear. Definitely a place I'll be going back to.

Beautiful place & very peaceful Great beach. Well worth a visit.

Such a lovely place to walk, never gets crowded. Dog walker's paradise 🐕

Beautiful beach with lots of rock pools and natural pools to jump into. Toilets are currently closed. Lots of port a loos in place. Lovely cafes for food and drinks.

Gwithian Beach is an absolute gem! Stretching for miles with golden sand and rolling waves, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a day by the sea. One of the best things about it is how dog friendly it is – our four-legged friend had the time of their life running along the shoreline and splashing in the surf. The beach feels wonderfully open and spacious, so even when it’s busy there’s plenty of room to find a quiet patch. The views across to St Ives Bay are stunning, especially at sunset, and the dunes behind the beach are lovely to explore too. Whether you’re here for a walk, a surf, or simply to relax and take in the fresh sea air, Gwithian has it all. A truly special place and one of the best beaches in Cornwall – we can’t wait to go back!

What an absolutely beautiful beach! Super clean, dog friendly to the left of the steps that lead down. Lots of people learning to surf, body board and enjoying the water. The Jam Pot cafe, Sunset Surf just 2 close by places for food and refreshments. Life guards operate during the day and a relatively large car park just above beach. Super views that impress year upon year. England has some beauty that's for sure.

A wonderful sandy beach - and enormous - both in width and length (it's over 3 miles long!). You will never have a problem finding a space on the beach for your family to enjoy their time here, even during the most popular times of the year. When the sun is shining and the sea spray hangs in the air, you get some stunning, dazzling views down the shore line (bring some sunglasses!). Also a fantastic place for surfing - whether you're experienced or just starting out.

Love this beach, been coming here since i was a young kid, im 40 now, and now my kids love coming here, brings back so many memories from when my nan and grandad use to take me there, has to be my favourite place to go to, always be my special place 🖤🤍

Beautiful beach, pay parking is using the JustPark app. Lots of people doing paddle boarding. It was high tide during the visit but it was still very nice to sit and listen to the waves and watching the sunset. We love it here.

Always a great beach, parking with easy access. Cafe nice good drinks and dog friendly

Very nice beach with clear water. The tide does go out quite far though so you have to walk out very far to get to the water. The waves are also very large, which makes body boarding and surfing very fun

Absolutely stunning beach! Soft golden sands, crystal clear sea, backdrop of rolling sand dunes, its our favourite beach in the world! Amazing sunsets too 💕

Amazing beach!! This beach stretches around 3 miles and forms part of Godrevy Beach which as my review on that one, if you’re a lover of Sunsets then this is the place to come! Personally I’ve not found a better beach anywhere. Some of the ones in North Devon and on the far Welsh coast get close, but no cigar I’m afraid. As for parking, slightly tricky one as the holiday sites tend to run along this one but you could park up near the Sunset Cafe or there’s a large car park near the Bluff Inn, then you have beach access via a ramp and steps. If you’re into your outdoor photography then this place is heaven.

Walked down the full length a few times which is a decent walk. Got absolutely soak on one occasion. Lots of caves to explore and stacked rocks near the back of the beach.

Absolutely stunning beach and nature reserve. Been on incredible adventures and enjoyed plenty of holidays near here.

Stunning beach. 3 miles long, lovely white soft sand. Can be quite windy, but a great place to be for the day when the sun is shining. There are a few alcoves where you can stay out of the wind, and it’s patrolled by RNLI. A couple of cafes dotted around but this is quite a remote beach, so best to take your own supplies (or be prepared to walk a decent stretch to get to the cafe).

Gorgeous stretch of natural sandy beach, popular for water sports. Due to its general inaccessibility, it is usually lightly used. I think there's a life guard hut on the cliffs over looking the beach, but no actual lifeguards on the beach. There's a small pay and display car park, privately owned, along a very rough track at the end of Sandy Lane. Better pay and display car parking is available at the council owned Gwithian Towans Long Stay one by Gwithian beach, close to the Sunset Surf Cafe.

A great way to spend a couple of hours, so many birds to look at as well as couple of other animals like red pandas and donkeys, plenty to keep kids entertained with various play areas. Each member of staff we spoke to were either highly knowledgeable or very happy and easy to speak to. On the entry desk was a woman I think called Angie (I may be wrong) but she was incredibly happy and very funny. I'd highly recommend for any animal/ bird lovers or families with small kids

Highly recommend! We visited as nostalgia for my partner from when he was a child and took our two young children under 5. All the birds seemed happy and well looked after. We managed to plan the day around feedings and made time for lunch in the gap between feeds and soft play which my toddler loved! It's also really handy that they sell spare socks as I was wearing sandals on that particular visit and hadn't brought spare to help my little boy around the soft play. Food options looked good and affordable too! Will be visiting next summer for sure.

What a sweet afternoon out at paradise park, we took advantage of the online offer and the journey was easy to get to by car with lots of signs.The staff were friendly at reception and my children were really excited throughout the afternoon. The atmosphere was calm and we didn’t feel rushed. We went on a busy day in August, even though the shows had lots of spectators, the park seemed spacious for everyone and this did not distract from our day. The range of birds were magnificent and we especially loved the Red pandas. The keepers were very knowledgeable and you could see that the enclosures were clean and the animals were calm. The play barn slides were a huge hit and great to cool off. There was a great range of toilets and open pathways for disabled access or pushchairs. We really enjoyed our visit and I would recommend visiting.

Amazing place. Small but spent 5 hours there. The animal conservation efforts are outstanding, the talks are informative, the rangers were fantastic. Shout out to Archie. The kids loved it. Soft play and picnic areas only add to it. Highly recommend

Really good. Thought it would be an hour walk around and a little boaring ,but was pleasantly surprised. Was there for around 3/4 hours. The birds of prey show was really impressive and very informative. The kids didn't t moan they got board whilst we were there either, which they usually do so it must of been good. Cafe was a bit steep so we went to eat somewhere else but the whole experience was amazing. Would definitely go again. 😊

Such a beautiful and well thought out park. You never go more than a few steps without a bench being handy for a break which was perfect for elderly family member that came with us. The only thing you pay extra for was the train, which was a small fee and well worth it for the lovely tunnel of lights. They have every type of bird and lots of events to attend throughout the day with different animal feedings and bird shows. We didn't make it inside the soft play as there was so much to see but its a great addition for if theres a shower. There were several different places for the kids to play as well as farm animals to feed which is always a hit. We had the best day here, all the staff were really friendly and the park was so well looked after. We will be back again!

"Absolutely loved our visit to Paradise Park in Hayle, Cornwall! The wildlife sanctuary is home to over 1,200 birds, including parrots, eagles, and flamingos, as well as adorable red pandas, otters, and harvest mice. The park's dedication to conservation and education is evident. We also enjoyed the animal feedings and shows, including the otter feeding time and free flying bird display. Overall, Paradise Park is a fantastic day out for all ages, offering something for everyone. Rating: 5/5 stars.

Beautiful as always - really hot wonderful views and beaches Highly recommend They even had deck chairs to hire all day for £7 which is a great deal!

Stunning! It rained the whole day but it didn’t detract from the beauty of this place. Absolutely wonderful. Lovely cafes & shops. All dog friendly too - it was perfect 👌

Lovely bay with four separate beaches. Lots of accommodation and a lot of authentic shops, bars and cafes. Parking is a bit limited and this is a very busy town with tourists.

One of the best beaches in the UK. If you are a surfer or someone interested in exploring surfing you shouldn't miss this beach. I had my first surfing experience and I loved it. You can rent a surf board of your choice and a bodysuit for an affordable price. Note - Plan your parking if you are driving as this place doesn't have plenty of parking spaces. There is a small private parking lot near the beach but you may not get a bay easily.

Crystal clear beaches, amazing scenery. We visited at the end of May and got full sunshine throughly our visit. This beach is the busiest along the coastline, as it has a mini high street on Fort St. which is a 2 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of restaurants to choose from unlike other beaches nearby. I would advise getting the local train or public transport service to the area, as parking is limited.

Travelling to St Ives by train from St Erth you can enjoy the Coastal views. Eating a Cornish Pastie and having a coffee on the seafront dodging seagulls. I really love St Ives.

Lovely beach. You can rent wet suits and surfboards at the kiosk and the waves are wonderful. Seems to be a very popular place for it. The beach goes on for a few miles around the coast so there is lots of bandwidth for walks or just relaxing on the beach. I hope to return again as I loved this beach.

Fantastic view! It's worth the taking the coast trail from St Ives. This trail walk also provides very beautiful views of the coast. It's easy to manage for even normal people. Beach is very clean and surreal. There is cave kind of structure at one end of the beach, you can peep inside (not recommended to enter). Train station is just around the corner. So, it's easy to catch the train back to St Erth from here, instead of catching it from St Ives.

Great beach gets busy and is hilly but worth it. Has toilets and beach shop for refreshments and ice cream and beach toys...

Lovely small beach, but boy the hills are steep to get down there and back up again.

Carbis Bay Beach is absolutely stunning – the perfect spot to truly feel the essence of summer! The golden sand, clear turquoise water, and breathtaking views make it a dream destination for anyone looking to relax or explore. It’s not just a beach, it’s a wonderful touristic place where you can soak up the sun, take refreshing swims, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Cornwall. The area feels peaceful yet lively, with plenty of nearby cafes and activities to make the day unforgettable. A true gem where summer really comes alive – highly recommended! 🌞🌊

Beauty. Loved my week here. Blue is now my fsvourite colour. Especially torquoise.

Beautiful beach with calm waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. Stunning views!

Gorgeous wide expanse of clean, fine white sand - perfect for sandcastle building and sand sculpting! Strong winds and big waves when we visited so worth taking windbreaks and warm layers, even on a sunny day. We parked - free after 4pm - in the car park at the top of the hill. Steep descent to the beach; not accessible and a tough hill climb for myself, as an able asthmatic on the way back. Well worth it though: we'd definitely go back.

Excellent museum with a broad & diverse history of St Ives. For a small entrance fee this is great value. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Such a wonderful museum all about St Ives. A great place to spend a few hours especially on a rainy day. Really enjoyed it and the staff are lovely.

Very interesting place showing a lot of local history. Only £5 for adults to go in. The museum was originally the seaman's mission, so the building itself is great to look around. Disabled access via a stair lift, so not suitable for someone who is unable to transfer. The ladies were very knowledgeable and helpful. Great on a day like today we're the weather is a little wild.

A gem! So many interesting collections and we loved learning about the cultural history of St Ives as well as about the industries there. Great little cats activity for younger kids too. Thanks to Eddie and the other volunteer guide (sorry his name escapes me) for making the visit so warm and welcoming. A must visit whatever the weather!

Lovely museum slightly off the beaten track. Decent admission price of £5. Children free. Slight problem for one of our party were the stairs to enter, leave and visit one of the floors of exhibitions. Lots to see. New exhibitions from our last visit a couple of years ago. Good couple of hours spent learning about St Ives history. Recommend.

Nicely presented and interesting selection of memorabilia, from all areas of the history of St Ives. Staff were lovely and encouraged the children to do little activities that they had set up for the holidays. £5 Entry for adults and children are free.

This was my first time visiting the St. Ives Museum and I really enjoyed it, down stairs is exhibitions of Farming, Mining, Fishing and processing of fish, with some very informative videos. Upstairs is more local history items showing life in Cornwall and its strong ties to the Sea. They had a gest exhibition of local artists that was a real bonus, but they regularly have such gest exhibitions. We didn't have to queue to get in and admittance was a very reasonable £5. The entrance is up a flight of stairs but for those who are disabled or can't manage stairs there is a ground floor entrance that leads to a chairlift, so all good. Really nice museum that if the weather was not so good for us adults you can easily kill half a day just by looking, reading and watching everything.

Fantastic beach side - more than a cafe - serving lovely food. Very friendly and welcoming. We had a selection of dishes - Crab Taco, Garlic Prawns, Mussels with fries and beautifully soft bread and really creamy butter!

Nice place on Porthgwidden Beach, had a lovely table with a beautiful off the beach and beyond. Apart from the burger which looked dry and overcooked the food was pretty good and served generous portions. The service was OK, nothing special and felt a bit rushed to get us to leave after we just finished our meal. A bit of improvement around service and teach the kitchen how to make a decent burger then they’ll be on to a winner!

We come across this Beach Café by chance, it's tucked away down the beach approach just off the St Ives - Island car Park. Got to say the drive to and from the car park was tight and through the town, but we managed to squeeze down the tight roads in our Ford Ranger. The Porthgwidden Beach Café was a lovely unexpected jewel, we were greeted by the staff and seated at the lovely window table overlooking the bay. The food choice was just what we expected, and the quality was 2nd to non, we both had the fish and chips, which was great quality and taste. The service was extremely quick, and the staff where really friendly, giving us advice on the scenery and where we should visit. All in all I will give this place a 5/5 for food, service and a friendly atmosphere. We will definitely save this as a favourite for when we return back to Cornwall.

Well .. it was our 1st wedding anniversary & needless to say we had to go back to where we had our wedding breakfast mealy , only the two of us instead of the 3o one year ago this time round .. & what a joy ( cheaper too , lol ) , great views just as before & made relaxed .. quick catch up with 'Will' (plus others) & food ordered , service although a different waitress was second to none .. amazing food & 1st steak since being in town for the week , excellent perfectly cook & the lemon sole too . Wined Dined & Reminisced , fab evening & we'll be going back for sure ... why shouldn't we the food alone is enough.

The reason why is just one star for food is because we get squid rings which we paid £8.95…shocking, we got also burgers which was brilliant, perfect . You can see it in the picture. That was from takeaway

Great views food OK reasonably priced you can get a drink here beach is fab and a safe swim area

Popped in for hot chocolate and a tea cake to escape the wind! Stunning location and actually a very nice restaurant. I think they were very accommodating for our pit stop but next time I would love to have lunch, it looked fantastic and what a spot!

Well it’s a very quaint harbour . St Ives is a very busy place even out of season . If you want to park , get here early. It is a very photogenic place and has very aggressive seagulls . The harbour front is awash with pubs and coffee shops and the town is full of nice little artisan shops . Including Joe Downs , who makes the most amazing things out of glass . Her copper fish are my personal favourite. Enjoy your stay , be patient with the townsfolk who have to have deliveries to bring the food, drink and all the other things you will buy.

I recently visited St Ives and it honestly felt like stepping into another world. On a sunny day, it’s like being transported to a foreign country – the sparkling turquoise sea, golden sands, and stunning scenery are simply breathtaking. The town itself has such a charming, welcoming atmosphere, with its winding streets, independent shops, and plenty of spots to sit and take it all in. Whether you’re strolling along the harbour, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying a drink with a view, everything about St Ives feels amazing. It’s one of those places that leaves you in awe and makes you want to return again and again.

Absolutely beautiful spot for a little rest and a bite to eat, parking is none existent so I wouldn’t even attempt driving down in to the town. I’d recommend parking up by the leisure centre and taking the 10 minute walk down the hill. Parking is £7 for 4hrs or £11 for the day.

Best beaches anywhere! Lots of interesting shops and small art galleries to visit. Not a place to drive around as roads very narrow so walking is essential and this can be steep at times but that does mean great views.

A truly pleasant, albeit often overcrowded place to be. Plenty of shops and restaurants with fantastic views out over the harbour. Seals can also sometimes be spotted within the harbour, although that sadly wasn't the case when I visited.

Fantabulous! Crystal clear water and very clean beach. Family friendly with lifeguards on duty.Lovely atmosphere and picturesque place.

Lovely harbour. Plenty of restaurants and other places to eat and drink. Lots of coffee houses. Large beach and arcades for children.

If you like Barbra Hepworth this is such a special museum. There's a lot of information about her life and you can see her studio where she worked. The garden is my favourite spot. It's one a beautifully peaceful place where you can walk or sit and look at her sculptures and the gardens that surround them. You can imagine how carefully she placed the sculptures because each of them seems to be framed by the others in some way. A visit to St Ives is not complete without a pilgrimage to this place, in my opinion.

What beautiful place! Well kept gardens provide the backdrop for Barbara Hepworth’s perfect sculptures & artwork. We visited on a Sunday morning which was pretty quiet & felt miles away from the crowds of the town. Great place for some inspiration!

absolutely beautiful. so well curated. super small location with it being Hepworth's house but its incredibly welcoming and inspiring. staff are all wonderfully friendly. there was a school trip happening on my visit which slightly hindered my experience but once they left it was beautifully tranquil. could spend all day there. joined tate collective for 16-25 year olds and only paid £5 for a ticket but itd be worth any price. already want to return

The museum's atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. Whether you're a seasoned museum -goer or just looking for an inspiring way to spend your afternoon, Barbara Hepworth Museum is a truly enriching experience that you won't want to miss.

I’m not a great fan of Hepworth’s work, but when in St Ives… it’s expensive for what, in essence is a ten minute walk around a garden. I’ve been told since, that the ticket also allows entry to the Tate, which if true, provides better value. However, there were no signs advertising this, and no talk of it at either reception desk, so perhaps the deal has been discontinued. For lovers of Barbara Hepworth it’s a must-see, of course, but I found very little to love in her sculptures.

The sculptor's home and garden provides a delightful setting for her sculptures. Her workshop shows the effort required to deliver such complex pieces of art

While it maybe a small museum it is well worth a visit. The sculpture garden is full of her amazing sculptures- well worth taking the time to walk around and view the sculptures from different angles

The cafe lives up its reviews. The food was unique and tasty, and the service was good. It was a busy day, and after a parking nightmare, we were an hour late - but they called me, and they accommodated us. Even in the restaurant we had to move table and they were super proactive and helpful.

Absolutely superb breakfast, in a wonderful cafe with incredible views. The place is amazing, sat on the cliff face with the beach and sea right opposite, the views are superb. They have various seating areas, inside, in the pods (recommended) or on the benches on the lower level. The service was immaculate, they look after you, are set up with colouring kits for kids etc. We both had the Build Your Own breakfasts with various items. All were superb. Really really good. Cannot recommend highly enough and we’ll be back for a lunch or dinner in the next day or so. Loved it. Edited the review to reflect that we also had our evening meal here. And what a place! If you book at the right time you get to see a stunning sunset. Food wise the evening menu was delicious. We really enjoyed it. We shared scallops, pork tacos, crispy sea bass, tortilla, tomato and moz salad. The little fella had, as usual, chicken and chips.

Amazing food with an even better view! We tried the tapas — halloumi, crab croquettes, scallops, and beetroot salad — all delicious, the scallops were a first for me (and did not disappoint!). Perfect spot to relax with a drink while looking out over Porthmeor Beach.

Fabulous! Definitely one of our new favourite spot in Cornwall to enjoy the ocean view and good quality food! Service impeccable! We spend around £40/50 pp because we had 2 beers and 2 glasses of Prosecco, otherwise we would have spent around £30 each tasting quality food! Highly recommended!

Always a first choice for me if having lunch or dinner. Great tapas selection and the food is spot on. Lovely beach/sea view. Friendly attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Had dinner with friends here on our last night in St Ives. We booked a pod that came with spectacular views of the beach and a beautiful sunset. The food was really good, the star of the show was the crispy sea bass but was impressed with all the dishes we had. Service was faultless, nothing was too much trouble. Anyone who visits here will be in for a treat but make sure you book in advance as it gets very busy.

Amazing restaurant over looking the delightful porthmeor beach. Worth a visit to watch sunset, surfing, and seagulls. Delicious food, great service and good value. Will be back!

visited Tate St Ives and it felt like art meeting the ocean. The building itself is bright and open, almost sculpted by the sea breeze. I loved how the light poured in, making every piece feel alive. The works of Hepworth and Nicholson connected beautifully with the town’s spirit. The changing exhibitions kept it fresh and surprising. And stepping outside—those beach views were a masterpiece on their own.

Wide selection of thought-provoking modern art, including a Kandinsky and large-scale installations. Great cafe on top, with super views of St Ives.

don’t even know where to begin… the outside facade and the architecture in this building is amazing! sees one of the most wonderful beaches from the top and the waves are so peaceful. yet i had low expectations of its curation based on reviews here. i visited with my 6 yo daughter and i could not even do justice in close to three hours. the pieces are so good, galleries are so distinct, installations and interactives are balanced with laintings, and the works are amazing. staff was super helpful. shop selection especially books were lovely. i visited london tate many times for free but this experience was worth more than the 14£ ticket price. cafe was crowded as it can be visited for free but the best view is from the galleries.

a lovely experience! most of the reviews i read said they were disappointed and that it wasnt worth the visit however the collection of art is beautiful though perhaps not accessible to those not into modern art. even still, i think the environment and the building itself its worth the visit - though i did get slightly lost and the gallery is smaller than i expected. even saying that, i could spend hours in here staring at the pieces. the cafe and shop are lovely too. staff are kind and welcoming. bought tickets online as part of the 16-25 tate collective for £5 which is well worth it!! maybe not worth anymore if youre not into modern art though.

The building itself is a beautiful round landmark overlooking Portmeor Beach. We stopped by for a short break and enjoyed a cream tea at the café on the 4th floor. The view was amazing, the cream tea was delicious, and the staff were super friendly

Setting is amazing right by the sea, with a good cafe at the top selling nice, good value food. The main collection is small but interesting. I loved the exhibition.

Lovely gallery the big round building is beautiful and as you go in there are some sheltered outdoor seating area with cushions which is a nice spot to relax. Tickets can be purchased as you go in, and the galleries are on the third floor, there is a lift. On the fourth floor there is a gift shop and a cafe. We sat on the balcony. Amazing views of the sea.

The Wizard of Oz production on 17.04.25 was absolutely fantastic. The costumes and stage setting were top notch. The cast blew us away, such wonderful energy and delivery of lines. A pleasure to watch. My 7 year old loved the show, as did I. 10/10

We saw Footloose tonight and it was fantastic! The cast were excellent, the choreography was brilliant. Would absolutely recommend a theatre visit. The refurb is lovely too. Thank you for a great evening.

We had a wonderful time watching Robinson Crusoe by KidsRus St Ives. Great little pantomime, my daughter and all the other children really loved it. Nice simple / little theatre for family fun

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The show was entirely performed by children and extremely good. Costumes were bright, colourful and a joy to watch. Would highly recommend for an evenings entertainment.

Watched Kidzrus for 2 different shows, both amazing. Smallish theatre but you can see from most seats. Nice new cafe area.

Went to see footloose on Monday. Absolutely brilliant what a great production, brilliant performances from a very competent energetic cast. Would recommend and go again Thanks for a great night.

Fantastic shows with an excellent, hard-working cast and team who are clearly all enthusiastic and dedicated to the theatre. We went to see Bugsy Malone and were absolutely enthralled from start to end. A must visit.

A very nice experience. Make sure to wear suitable footwear such as trainers as paths can be difficult to climb or slippery ( depending on the weather ). I had a fun time climb walking up and down and the view was beautiful. Inside the castle was very interesting.

£28 to visit the castle/gardens, and £3 for the boat. I've always wanted to visit here, and glad that I finally have. I think it is overrated. The parking situation is a nightmare. The walk over the causeway was the only fun/interesting part. The walk upto the castle wasn't particularly challenging or difficult as I am able bodied, but several people did seem to find it challenging on such a hot day. Anyone with mobility or health issues will need to reassess visiting, as there are no wheelchair routes/ramps and the ground in several places is loose/cobble/rocky, with large steps and often you have to scramble up parts of the path. The shops are staggeringly overpriced, and we avoided buying anything from them. The garden was predominantly a large selection of succulents and palms with nothing of interest. The castle, wasn't particularly interesting with only a small potion of it accessible. The "gallery" they have on the way out had some interesting pictures/paintings but no information to give context to them. You can quite easily walk around the garden and castle within an hour. As others have mentioned, the causeway is tidal so make sure you are aware of the times as several people did get caught out while we were there.

St Michael’s Mount is amazing, the short boat ride to the Island followed by a short walk to the top gave beautiful views of the mainland. The castle and church and small are beautiful and very well maintained. My only tip would be to turn up early as it gets very busy once the tide goes out and walkway becomes usable.

Very beautiful historical site, and an enjoyable walk when the weather is right. Although I’d definitely avoid when rainy or windy. Went on a bank holiday Monday and there were quite a few rude tourists around which was unpleasant, but didn’t sour the experience for my family. The price for entry is very dear for what you get, but if you enjoy history, a good walk, or a beautiful view of the city then it is definitely worth it! (Plus, if you’re lucky you can see seals just outside the island!

The highest spot amongst the area, so you can see far distance when you stand at the top of the castle. The things exhibit in the castle didn’t catch much of my interest, only the huge spoon for roasting coffee beans at the time that when coffee introduced to the UK. The rest interesting would be maps to me.

Simply beautiful!! Be aware of a few things, I came in a rainy day, at 9.45 am the tides were off until 2pm-ish but not to worry you can take the boat back if you missed the walk back. Anyway, the road to the castle involves old made stairs out of rock which can be slippery if you don't have proper shoes, Okies am uneven terrain as well. It takes about 10-15 minutes up the castle. The views are stupendous 😁 I came when the gardens were closed, sad, I've read good thing about it, but next time I'll check when they're open so I can visit again.

It’s brilliant here! Keep an eye on the tide times so you can walk over the causeway, otherwise you need to get a boat. We had National Trust memberships so got to visit the castle for free. We went in the first week of September and dogs weren’t allowed, so just double check if it is out of season. Lots to do and see, and the castle is beautiful! Quite a few steps to go up and it’s very steep, so also worth bearing in mind.

Amazing little place. Definitely book your ticket in advance. It is around £12 per person. It is a quick look around; the place is quite small but worth the visit. The experience is unforgettable. The view, the scenery, everything is so beautiful. Even the cafe offers an amazing experience and view. Worth the visit at least once in a lifetime. #travelwithtentbox

Great place and fantabulous views of the cliff and the sea! Mesmerising view of the turquoise blue sea! We went on dry sunny day and loved the views and the place. Amazing architecture and would get some worthy snaps! Sarah and Jane in the helpdesk ticket centre were very kind and helpful and sorted all our clarifications!

Highly recommend watching a show, it’s the most unique backdrop for a theatre. Worth paying for a seat close up as it’s not that much more expensive. Bring a jacket, cushion to sit on as it’s concrete or grass. And bring your own snacks too. Turn up an hour early to park up and get the best seats in the area you bought tickets for. If you’re booking a taxi, make sure it arrives early before the show ends otherwise they’ll be stuck on the single track lanes

What a surreal visit! Totally beautiful amd so many nooks and crannies to see. Our visit was cut slightly short due to a theatre group using it to practice (which was awesome, they were doing we will rock you!) But we saw enough to be wowed.

Absolutely lovely place. Great views over the sea, fabulous gardens and a historic amphitheatre too. They still have plays occasionally, we were lucky enough to go on a day that a man was doing a talk as a gardener from years gone by.

Fantastic place. Just the history of it is mind boggling. What a woman of great strength and determination. Although there was no show on, just to walk amongst the structures, plants and museum. Great cafe and the views!! Breathtaking

What an absolutly fantastic experience The Minack Theatre’s history talk Meet Billy Rawlings" talks: Actor Mark Harandon portrays Billy Rawlings, the gardener who helped Rowena Cade build the theatre. These talks happen on selected days, The theatre also offers a dedicated Rowena Cade exhibition and virtual experiences that walk visitors through its creation and legacy. If you're planning a visit or want to catch a live talk, it's best to check their official site or contact them directly for the latest schedule and speaker details.

Absolutely amazing bit of history. The ww2 bunker with all it's original equipment was really amazing to see. If you plan on visiting make sure you go up the tunnel to the cliff top its well worth it. People seem to forget it's there. The museum doesn't really get that busy because of Porthcurno Beach so you will probably have the place to yourself like i did. Staff are lovely and very helpful

Really interesting museum all about the birth of global communication and an amazing WW2 bunker. Great for kids as there is lots to play with and even better for big kids as there’s loads to look at and learn. Dog friendly in the main museum and a great cafe and shop.

An excellent and informative museum that tells the story of the history of communications. It thoroughly entertained our initially skeptical six year old with a series of hands on activities. Whilst it is a little out of the way, the parking is free and the beach further down the valley is equally delightful.

Great museum for young and old my 10yr old lad picked this place to go, and he loved it as did my 14 yr old daughter, there was even hands on stuff and we sent more code messages to each other, the under ground bunker was impressive as was the escape tunnel with its resident swallow nesting, all in a great few hours out. Parking is free if visiting the museum

Great museum and friendly helpful staff. I only had an hour but learned alot and the assistant helped me to get a ticket that would allow me to go back. I will definitely revisit this interesting museum.

Very interesting place with big a history.We are spend hear around 1,5 hours . Tickets is cheap with free car park. Nice shoop for the end with not expensive gifts. We are loved 😍

Fascinating place. Full of the history of global communications. Reminded me of how instrumental british inventors were in the global communication network

Sandy but a part of rocks it’s unique beautiful beach. Love to watch surfers. So much satisfying to watch them. Blue water, dark clouds and greenery making it perfect landscape for beautiful painting. You can have very good view of this beach from the hill side. Good public transport for this area.

Lovely beach to visit, definitely recommend it. The view from the top is beautiful and the beach is really big at low tide so lots of space for everybody. There is a cafe and takeaway shack for food/drinks if you would like them. Car park is never usually too busy when we visit in June and September and we always manage to find a space.

Superb beach. Cold swim but so refreshing.

Sennen beach is situated just around the corner from Land's End, the most westerly point in mainland Britain. It’s home to quaint settlements, sandy beaches, surf spots, historic chapels, wild landscapes, and rugged clifftops overlooking the Atlantic. An atmospheric place, good for a break from everyday life. The long, slowly falling shore is perfect for swimming and surfing.

In good weather there are lovely views over the sea from the the seats on the seawall. We visited in September 2025 and the breaking waves were a stunning aquamarine in colour.

Beautiful sandy beach. Very popular with surfers. Lifeguards on duty on part. Several small, chargeable, car parks (£5 all day) in the area and one large car park at the top of the hill into Sennen - though there is a steep walk down (and up!) from there.

Always a pleasure being here. Home from home. Great surfing and lifeguarded, very clean beach. Lovely little harbour, shops and café. If you're driving for the beach arrive early if you wish to park in one of the cove car parks. Otherwise there is the top car park at the top of the hill.

We had a lesson today with Erin, she was fantastic. Kind, enthusiastic and a really good teacher. Such a lovely family run business, highly recommend lessons with these guys.

The crew at Sennen Surfing Centre are absolute legends :) I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to surfing, Jackson & Dave were both super encouraging & positive, going above & beyond to make sure that I had an amazing experience. It was so much more than just a surfing lesson, the knowledge and expertise of these guys is unmatched & their kindness & generosity is next level, they even went out of their way to help me out with directions to/from the beach, bus timings and recommendations on the area. I cant recommend Sennen Surfing Centre any more highly, thank you, thank you, thank you :)

We had our first ever surf lesson today with the team and our instructor Henry was outstanding at giving us a fully laid back lesson while sharing his 10/10 knowledge of the waves. He was so energetic and enthusiastic and filled us both with such positivity. Dave helped us pick the perfect day to come for our first time and he was also so welcoming and knowledgeable, also so excited for us to begin! Amazing value for what we received. Thank you both so much, we will be seeing you next year!

Lovely surf shop with a truely great range of products. Not only this but super knowledgeable staff who were really helpful. Definitely the spot to come if you need wetsuits or surfboards/bodyboards.

Super friendly staff - great session staff help you to go as far as you want but also not too pushy so a perfect blend. I really thought I could not get anywhere near but with encouragement from lovely Erin - success - 💖 We all had a fantastic, fun time in our group of 6 this morning - thank you SOOOO much Erin and Dave and the guy at the base - highly recommend ( from a fussy lady Lisa 😂)

Thank you to Sennen Sufing Centre. Learned to Surf all week with Dave, Henry & Calie (apologies if I mis-spelled that mate). Great team, knowledgeable, experienced, enthusiastic & patient, you couldn't ask for anything else, highly recommended. Will definately be back for a refresher when we're back in Sennen.

Good facilities but what easily earns 5 stars are the crew. The instructors are amazing. We went a couple of times with our little one and we can't recommend them enough. Really attentive and encouraging. Massive thanks, absolutely awesome.

Brilliant surf school. Super skilled instructors, on a great beach, good value and very flexible.. walk in and learn to surf! We were all standing up in less than 2 hours! Wow.. Sam Smart is such a great instructor, he grew up on this beach and has surfed all over the world. My children were hooked from day one!

I couldn’t have picked a better surf school! Sam is the best teacher anyone could ask for, super fun and full of energy. By the end of my lesson, I was able to catch a wave and stand up, and he even let me keep the board to keep practicing afterward. I had such a great time that day, and I’d be well up for another lesson next time I’m around Sennen. Keep up the good work!

This was my first experience of surfing, we had an hour and half lesson with Holly , and she was amazing, full of energy and very warm, she managed to get me standing up in my first lesson.

These were the best surf lessons we've ever done! The group sizes are small and Hollie is an excellent teacher - she catered the lesson exactly to our level and built up our confidence on the water. She was super enthusiastic and supportive. We booked in straight away for a second lesson. Great value for a really personalised lesson run by local people. Highly recommend!

Our surfing skills improved dramatically this week at Smart Surf School, thanks to the brilliant and actionable advice from our instructors, Hollie and Jake. They helped us with key techniques like acceleration, slowing down, and making turns. Everyone left the lessons feeling much more confident and had a blast. The beautiful Sennen Cove was the perfect setting for a truly memorable week. Thanks so much!

Nice people, brilliant teachers, Great equipment. Best effort for your money you can get. We took individual lessons with a real professional Surfer. Within our first lesson we were able to understand the very basics of surfing and even got to the point where we were able to paddle into waves and stand up. Couldn't imagine a better start for us into this fascinating sport

We highly recommend the Smart Surf School. Thanks to Hollie and Sam our kids have learnt to surf. The team is always so friendly and helpful - and Sennen Cove is such a beautiful place. Support this local, family-run school!

A must visit area of Cornwall if you're visiting nearby offering incredible views across the coast. We even got lucky enough to spot a seal and spent an hour just watching the dolphins! We got there early before 10am and the place was very quiet, an hour later once the coaches arrive it starts to feel very much like the busy tourist attraction and gets crowded quickly. Getting there early allowed us to take photos in front of the sign without the huge crowds. The sign is now behind a rope where you have to pay £10 for a photo if you want to stand near it. The coastal walks either side are impressive and not too difficult to navigate - there's a ship wreck about a 15 minute walk to the right of the sign which is well worth a visit. And the archway to the left. The food is average at best but also very expensive so would recommend bringing your own. We did the adventure golf which to our surprise was really well done. 15 holes in various pirate themed areas with high production value. It's definitely worth a visit for the stunning landscapes above all else. You can ignore the rest of the experiences but can see why they'd help engage younger visitors. £9 to park all day.

Land's End is beautiful in a rugged way. The views are spectacular on a fine day and even when the weather has closed in the wild wind blown atmosphere of west Cornwall is hard to beat. So why does anyone think a bit of crazy golf and a 4D cinema built in a layout similar to a motorway services is just what you need here? I recommend you park at Sennen Cove Harbour Car Park and walk over to Land's End (15-20 min walk), avoiding the service station vibes. There's a 2 or 2.5 hr circular walk via Nanjizal and then back inland across the fields that's very scenic. (Update: the fact there's a Land's End account that responded to my view kind of illustrates my point - does wild nature need a marketing team and amusement park?)

Land’s End is one of those rare places that combines natural beauty with a sense of history and wonder. Standing at the westernmost tip of mainland England, you’re greeted by sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and rugged cliffs that stretch dramatically into the horizon. The coastal walks here are spectacular, offering a chance to soak in Cornwall’s wild landscape while spotting seabirds and, if you’re lucky, even dolphins. The iconic Land’s End signpost makes for a classic photo opportunity, and the visitor centre provides helpful exhibits and amenities without taking away from the natural charm of the spot. Sunset is especially magical, as the sky meets the sea in vibrant colours. Whether you’re there for a quick stop or a long coastal hike, Land’s End truly lives up to its name — it feels like the edge of the world, and it’s a must-visit on any trip to Cornwall.

Great place to visit, especially if you like nature and hiking. Even for those who cannot hike you can take some walks and still see some of the nice cliffs. Some walking paths are manageable to do so. For those who are more able to hike can use trails along the coast. Just beautiful.

This is a big tourists attraction with multiple shops, 4D cinema, and crazy golf etc, which spoils it in a way as it's overly commercial. It's amazing once you get past that to stand out on lands end and look at the breathtaking scenery though. Beware that if you want photos next to the old sign you have to pay, so we stood with it in the background for a selfie! There's a big carpark which you have to pay to use.

Had a cracking time at Land's End! The views were stunning, and the coastal path was a great way to take it all in. The cafe had decent grub and a warm welcome. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! 🌊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿"

There are a lot of things to do / visit, surroundings. It's a beautiful place and I was lucky to be 20 degrees outside but very very windy, but I think it's always like that because it's next to the cliffs and sea. Anyway, great experience, and the parking here is free for 20 minutes and£7.5 all day for the cars and vans, and£4 for motorbikes There are no alternatives to pay by hour.

Stunning views, great staff, parking is perfect day so long walks are covered. The genteman taking the photos is very nice and professional. If you are going to lands end, you are getting a picture.

Unbelievable! The cliffs are crazy cool and even better in reallife! We were here at 7pm which was pretty good, since it was very empty but still good lighting... There are some nice shops around and a hotel.

The views from the sign area are amazing and stunning on a clear sunny day. The sign area is a little disappointing as it’s been commercialised, you need to pay to have a picture taken with your “message” on it. I suppose it’s good to mark a celebration or event that way, but most people just want a simple snapshot next to the original sign. Parking is plentiful and fixed at a day rate of £9 regardless of how long you stay ( a quick visit is not good value ). A few decent cafes and food place are situated here, the tea and scones are particularly good at the place just at the entrance. Nice place with good views and very good service with reasonable pricing. Overall a nice experience and some good areas where you can find out about Lands Ends history and stuff.

Think its a bit of a con having to pay to stand at the side of it and have your photo taket thats what happens when a private company invest in it Tourist zones and managed access: In some cases, access to the monument itself (or its immediate surroundings) is managed by a trust or private body. They may charge for entry, guided tours, or even “photo spots” with scenic backdrops. "Money making"

Pretty view, but over done. A shame it's no longer part of the national trust. I get the fact it has had £7 million put into the infrastructure and they have erected a huge complex but there's no need for a Wallace and gromit experience there haha. The view of the 270 degree sea is amazing, I would recommend coming after hours than when it is fully open as it is deserted and the restraunt is still open. There on tap selection is impressive too ( strawberry and like rattler on tap is wicked.

The entry/parking is £8 for whole day... No matter you want to stay for an hour... That pity. Entertainment part is common what you find at any pier... However, 'life music' - very charming! When the weather is nice worth to come for tje atmosphere of freedom, dramatic landscape with open space!

Lands End has some stunning views of the Longship Lighthouse, the two Reefs and the Jurassic coastline. The are some breathtaking walks along the cliff tops in both directions, more so as you walk south along the cliff tops
