The Lizard is a small peninisula in the west of Cornwall. There are a number of small beaches and also some fantastic coastal scenery, especially around Lizard Point which is Britian's most southerly point.

The region is accessible by taking the A3083 and B3293 from Helston. Smaller roads are needed to access a lot of the beaches
