View of Enys Dodnan Arch from Pordenack Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views from Pordenack Point, the first major headland South of Land's End, are spectacular. To the North you can see the wonderful natural arch of Enys Dodnan.
This area is a coastal Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its biodiversity, in particular bird passage migrants and maritime vegetation.

Pordenack Point Cliffs

Highlight • Climb

The section of the South West Coast Path here at Pordenack Point is simply beautiful. It is the first major headland south of Land's End. There are beautiful coastal views to be had from here, especially south towards the headland of Carn Boe. The finest granite cliffs in Cornwall are to be found here, between Pordenack and Porthgwarra in the south.

Nanjizal Beach (Mill Bay)

Lovely beach. Great place for a swim

Porthgwarra Beach

Highlight • Cave

Remote, relatively unknown Cornish Cove, largely owned by Lord St Levan (of St Micheal's Mount). Located just under 3 miles south east of Lands End.
There is a small beach at low tide with an array of interesting rock pools and caves. There are many reminders of Porthgwarra's fishing past.
