I highly recommend checking out the Coverack Windsurfing Centre if you're in the area. They offer windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking lessons at reasonable prices, with no time limit. Our best day in Coverack was spent there - can't wait to go back!

Porthbeer, located a ten to twenty minute walk south of Coverack along the coastal path, is definitely worth the visit. The beach is similar to Coverack's, but much larger at low tide, offering sandy areas perfect for beach activities and plenty of rocks and rock pools to explore. The calm waves and clear waters make for a peaceful and picturesque cove setting. If you enjoy Coverack, Porthbeer is a worthwhile upgrade just a short journey away.

This beach is a stunning discovery. It has a beautiful sandy shoreline where dogs are welcome all year round. It's just a 10-minute walk from town, with a relatively easy path to follow, although you will need to navigate some small rocks to reach the beach. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkeling.

This beach is truly amazing, the top choice for sure. You can park for free at the harbor or pay just £1.50 per day at a spot close by.

This beach is a hidden gem, perfect for a peaceful day in paradise. The crystal-clear blue waters and stunning coastline views make it feel like a tropical escape. It's a small beach that requires a short walk along the coastline to reach.
