The Lizard Holiday Parks – FAQs

What do people actually do when staying on the Lizard?

Most of your time is spent exploring the coastline. Kynance Cove is the main draw and one of the most photographed places in Cornwall. Lizard Point is a short walk from the village and is the southernmost point of mainland Britain. People also head to nearby spots like Mullion Cove and Cadgwith, then fill the rest of the day with coastal walks and stopping at small cafés and pubs along the way.

Which places are worth visiting around the Lizard?

Kynance Cove is the standout and is around 10 minutes from Lizard village. Mullion Cove is about 15 minutes and has a proper working harbour feel. Cadgwith is a small fishing village with boats pulled up on the beach and a much quieter atmosphere. Further out, Porthleven is around 30 minutes and has one of the best food scenes in this part of Cornwall.

What are the best beaches and coves on the Lizard?

Kynance Cove is the main one, known for its white sand and rock formations. Housel Bay is smaller and less busy, sitting close to Lizard village. Kennack Sands, near Coverack, is one of the larger beaches in the area and is easier for families. Mullion Cove is more about the harbour and cliffs than a traditional sandy beach, but it is still worth visiting.

Are there any good pubs and places to eat nearby?

Yes, but they are spread out rather than concentrated in one place. The Witchball in the Lizard village is a regular stop. In Cadgwith, the Cadgwith Cove Inn is well known and often has live music. Mullion has a few options including The Old Inn. If you head to Porthleven, places like The Ship Inn and Amelies are popular. These are the places people tend to seek out rather than staying local to one village.

Are there good coastal walks on the Lizard?

Yes, this is one of the best areas in Cornwall for walking. The stretch between Kynance Cove and Lizard Point is one of the most popular routes. Walking around Mullion Cove and along the cliffs towards Poldhu also offers strong views. The coastline here is more rugged than other parts of Cornwall, so the walking feels more remote.

Are there holiday parks and caravan parks on the Lizard?

Yes, but they tend to be smaller and more spread out. There are caravan parks, lodge parks and campsites around Mullion, Helston and Coverack. Sites such as Mullion Holiday Park provide a base close to the coast, while other smaller touring parks are set in more rural locations.

What makes the Lizard different from other parts of Cornwall?

The Lizard feels less developed and more remote. You will not find large resort towns or busy promenades here. Instead, it is about small villages, open coastline and quieter beaches. It suits people who want to explore and spend time outdoors rather than stay in one place.

Can you easily reach other places from the Lizard?

Yes, but everything takes a bit longer due to the roads. Helston is about 20 minutes away and is the main nearby town. Porthleven is around 30 minutes and is worth the trip for food and harbour views. Beyond that, you can explore more of West Cornwall, but the Lizard itself is usually the main focus.

Is the Lizard a good choice if you want a quieter Cornwall holiday?

Yes, this is one of the quietest parts of Cornwall. It is ideal if you want to avoid crowds and focus on coastal walks, coves and small villages. It is less suited to people looking for busy towns or lots of entertainment.
