I have been visiting Land's End since 1969 - the area has been truly spoiled now it has the attractions. It used to be so peaceful with beautiful, natural surroundings - just as nature intended. The attractions have now completely ruined the area which is most disappointing. We have started visiting during the evening time only, when the attractions are closed, to try and see Land's End during it's 'quiet time'. Unfortunately, I doubt we will be visiting again - our family visited in a total of 3 cars and we were charged £6 each to park for one hour!!!!! Woulldn't mind if the car park was in good condition but it's a wreck!!!!

Rather a disappointment. Very commercial.

Sennen Cove
(4 miles)
Porthcurno Beach
(6 miles)
(2)
Porthcurno is located in the far West of Cornwall and has been described by many as a paradise and it’s not hard to see why. With its soft white sand beaches, turquoise sea which gleams in the summer sun and the high cliffs on either side of the beach providing shelter, it is described as an oasis of stunning natural beauty. On the west side of the beach is the famous Minack Theatre and to either side of the beach you will find coastal paths that provide the most breath-taking views. Dogs are welcome on the beach expect between 1 May and 30 September when a seasonal dog ban is in place. Parking can be found just behind the beach.
What a lovely beach. Golden/white sands. Beautiful clear waters. On a calm day great for paddle boarding, swimming and paddling. The beach does drop away quickly and gets deep. We have been when it is wavy too but feels safe with the lifeguards there during high season. Parking can get very busy so I suggest you get there early in the day if you want a space closer to the beach, there are some disabled bays. The spaces are small and if you have a big car I suggest you reverse in so it is easier to get out at the end of a busy day on the beach. There are 3 routes down to the beach. From the Minack which is steep and rocky with lovely views. A path from the car park which is a little uneven and down a slope. My mother managed to get her mobility scooter down this and the lovely Lifeguards let her leave it at the Lifeguard station. There are also some steps down to the beach at the Lifeguards hut.
