Cadgwith Cove is pretty fishing village on the east side of the Lizard peninsula. In recent years it has enjoyed fame as the location for the filming of 'The Apprentice Fisherman' starring Monty Hall. Cadgwith is a working fishing village with the heart of the village being around the cove area.
Cadgwith has two beaches - a northern beach (where the fishing boats are located) and a southern beach. These are separated by a headland known as 'The Todden'.
Local note
Cadgwith is the kind of place where the day is shaped by simple things: tide, weather, a picnic, and time to notice the coast properly.
Plan the final walk from the car park and check whether the beach is easy with pushchairs, tired legs or beach bags.
A useful read before visiting with children, especially for tides, paths, facilities and simple beach expectations.
Beach and cove guides can help anglers understand access, ground, tide and nearby marks before packing kit.
Look up tide times, swimming guidance and weather before you go, especially on wilder beaches.
