Coverack is a fishing port on the east side of the Lizard Peninsula. It has a long curved sandy beach with is great for families. At the southern end of the beach is a small harbour providing shelter for the small fishing fleet and other local boats.
The RNLI stationed a lifeboat at Coverack in 1901 shortly after a ship was wrecked on the Manacles - the hazardous group of rocks just off Coverack which has claimed many boats and lives.
Local note
Coverack 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.
The lifeboat remained at Coverack until 1978 when a faster boat was stationed at nearby Falmouth. The lifeboat station and slipway remains and is now a restaurant.
