The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.

Location: South Coast - 1 mile west of Lizard Village

Pentreath Beach from just west of Kynance Cove

Pentreath beach is a narrow strip of sand, pebbles and rocks due west of Lizard Village. There is no parking here and so access may be a problem for the less able. Cars should be left at Lizard Village or at Kynance Cove. Overlooked by many on their way to Kynance or to the most southerly point. Caerthillian Cove a short distance away is quite pretty but is usually only visited by enthusiasts for the area and coastal path walkers. There are no facilities here.
