Explore the

Lizard Peninsula

Breathtaking wild landscapes, unspoilt beaches, cosy eateries and charming fishing villages are waiting to be discovered in our remote home on the Lizard Peninsula.

EXPLORE THE LOCAL AREA

Whether you’re looking for foodie inspiration, places to go for a coastal walk or brilliant local events, here are some of our favourite places to visit and things to do within close proximity of the park.

Kennack Sands Beach

Take a 10-minute stroll from the park along a peaceful woodland path and you’ll arrive at our beautiful local beach, Kennack Sands. It’s mostly sandy with lots of space to relax, have a swim and walk the dog (except during the summer holidays – but don’t worry, the beach next door is dog-friendly all year round!). 

You’ll find lifeguards on duty during the summer months. 

Plus there are two brilliant cafes to grab an ice cream, a hot chocolate or something tasty for lunch.
