Kynance Cove

Kynance Cove is one of the most popular destinations on The Lizard Peninsula, and in July and August the car park fills up early and there may be queues along the access road. So, when planning a visit consider coming earlier or later in the day or at another time of the year. If the car park is full there are other beaches nearby, such as Kennack Sands, Coverack and Poldhu. Walking from Lizard village is an alternative but, of course, other car parks here are also busy in peak season.
