A rear gate gives access to gorse-covered sand dunes, through which a ten-minute walk leads to a cliff path down to the beach facing . For the less mobile, a beach-side car park is only a one mile drive away. The area is peppered with typical little Cornish fishing villages such as Coverack, Cadgwith, Mullion, and Mousehole. This area enjoys the best of both worlds: it is delightfully attractive and recommended for quiet exploration, whilst there are plenty of attractions for family days out. During the school summer break, the Site hums with exuberant children. Members are warned that bathing off the coast can be dangerous; particular note should be taken of any local warning notices.
