Location

Coverack is a stunning location, nestled in a sheltered cove on the Eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula, there is a crescent shaped beach offering access to crystal clear waters, perfect for swimming, kyacking and paddle boarding. The heart of the village is the traditional fishing harbour constructed in 1724 from local serpentine and still home to working fishing boats, bringing in the catch on a daily basis. The old Lifeboat House now offers fish and chips that can be enjoyed on the harbour and The Paris Hotel offers a great range of food and drinks. There are also a variety of small cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as a primary school. Gazing down onto the bay below is the pretty 19th-century church of St Peter, which is almost chapel-like in appearance and has a pulpit made of the famous local serpentine stone.
