The Lizard
The Lizard is the most southerly point of mainland England as is alleged to be the place where the first siting of the Spanish Armada were made.
The RNLI has stationed a lifeboat at the Lizard since 1859 – originally at Polpeor and then from 1959 at nearby Kilcobben Cove. The original lifeboat house and slipway remains (see picture below) and is now a popular place for anglers.
There is a lighthouse situated on the cliff at the Lizard.
Kynance Cove
Kynance Cove is a stunning cove with dramatic rock formations, caves and cliffs. At low tide there is a lovely sandy beach and this coupled with it’s sheltered rocks makes it a great place for swimming.
There is a National Trust car park at the top of Kynance Cove on the cliffs and it is necessary to walk down to the beach. A walk that is well rewarded.
Sea Fishing around The Lizard
This is excellent bass ground. Also off the southerly point at the Lizard you should catch conger, pollack, mackerel and the usual flatfish.
