Cadgwith Beach

Lizard

Cadgwith is a small but picturesque fishing village on the east side of the Lizard peninsula. Below the village are two small pebble beaches which are separated by a rock outcrop called The Todden. The east beach is used as a harbour, the west beach is smaller and is known as Little Cove.

Signs warn to beware of motorised water craft, also beware of falling rocks. Also do not bathe when sea is rough. See Beach Safety Guide.

There is a sloping path from the car park to Cadgwith village. This takes about 5 minutes to walk. Final access to the harbour beach at Cadgwith is level from the road, there are steps to Little Cove not suitable for wheel chairs.

Dogs allowed all year on the harbour beach. Dogs are banned on Little Cove from 1st July to 31st August (10am to 6pm).
