Porthmeor – St Ives. Often very good surf and you can pop into the Tate afterwards. The Barbara Hepworth museum is also brilliant. A great spot but gets very busy in high season.

Porthleven – a bustling fishing harbour town and when the waves are big. They will hit over the harbour wall. Iconic image of Cornwall and also great for a walk around the town with good cafes and bars. The Ship Inn at the far end of the harbour is our favourite.
Quayside Fish is our local fishmonger but always good to call them before to order – 01326 562008

The fishing harbour of Newlyn is ubiquitous and great place to buy fish . Stevensons ( who basically run the harbour) shop is excellent.

Lizard Lighthouse – a wonderful coastal walk and keep an eye out for choughs and gannets. The Housel Bay Hotel was a good stop for a pint but it’s gone a bit fancy now with Mediterranean flat breads and chorizo sandwiches. What’s wrong with a pint and a pasty?! Still – you might like it…

When the wind is blowing a hooley – we often take refuge on the Helford River side of the Lizard – totally different to the wild west , its sheltered and lush with some gorgeous villages – St Anthony, Mylor, Mawnan and Helford itself with the brilliant Shipwrights Arms pub.
