In context.

A west-facing sandy cove on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, National Trust-owned, in an AONB, exposed to Atlantic swell and backed by grass-topped dunes. Its inconsistent beach break works best on SW swell at low tide; persistent rip currents run along the rocks at both flanks, with a rescue history. A seasonal dog ban runs 1 July-31 August; kites and aerial activity are banned by byelaw. RNLI lifeguards patrol daily 7 July-2 September; tidal range is large.
