    Very touristic but worth it. All the beaches are amazing and the waters crystal clear. The hatbour walk is amazing snd you can take a boat to see the dolphins and seals.

    This fishing harbour town is famous for smugglers, art & beaches. The old town character and plenty of golden sanded beaches makes it highly popular in the summer months, but we love it too in winter!

    Go for a walk before 8am. It is quiet and peaceful at this time of the day. But some of the alleys need to be crowded to unfold their magic.

    Come with lightweight baggage for your first day/night. Park at one of the car parks at the rim. Use the early morning (until 8am) or the late evening for unloading your luggage.

    Great location for photography, especially at high tide. However it can be dangerous, so ware the right gear.

    Park and ride by train from Lelant worth it for the coastal train track and views alone!

    Make sure that you have change for the parking before you arrive. Nearby shopkeepers won't give change and you'll have a £100 fine by the time you get back to the car! Hate this place
