Natural landmarks

- Gwynver Beach Close to Sennen Cove, Gwynver beach reportedly gets its name from Guinevere, wife of the legendary Cornish King Arthur. Accessible from a steep path from above, the beach is rarely too crowded. Steep granite cliffs rise from behind.
- Nanjizal Beach Nanjizel Beach is a pretty cove surrounded by boulders, clear water and lots of rock-pooling opportunities. It remains relatively uncrowded due to its inaccessibility. Walkers from the coastal path tend to be the main visitors.
- Porthgwarra Beach Close to Porthcurno, this small secluded beach was once a thriving fishing cove but today is more famous for its film location status. The sparkling clear turquoise water on sunnier days makes this a pretty spot to visit.
- Land's End Land's End is one of Britain's most famous landmarks and worth a visit for the stunning scenery alone.
