Coast walk - Kennack Sands to Lizard Point

A gentle 6 mile coast walk from Kennack Sands back to Lizard point, passing through the fishing village of Cadgwith.

Cadgwith owes its existence to the fishing industry. Pilchard fishing occurred until the 1950s using large seine boats and seine nets, which was a system used to enclose the large shoals of pilchards, and coordinated by the use of lookouts, known as huers (from the Cornish 'Hevva, Hevva!' ('Here they are!)), positioned on the cove's two headlands.

Lizard Point to Kynance Cove

After a drive south to the Lizard Peninsula, at the tail end of storm Agnes, the sun eventually came out briefly in the afternoon so I took a walk down to Lizard point and then on to Kynance Cove (as the clouds gathered and rain approached).

Lizard Point is the most southerly point of mainland Britain where the Atlantic meets the English Channel.

Watergate Bay : Tregurrian Beach / Watergate Beach

 A couple of days exploring the full length of the beach (originally called Tregurrian Beach but now referred to as Watergate Beach) at Watergate Bay including a walk along to the neighbouring Whipsiderry Beach just outside Newquay.

Watergate bay beach faces the Atlantic Ocean, and is adjacent to Newquay Bay. The 2-mile sandy beach and exposed site is popular for non-powered water sports.
