Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike. Location: South Coast - 9 miles southeast of Helston
Kennack Sands is a southeast facing beach situated roughly halfway between Cadgwith and Coverack on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula. The main beach is a mixture of sand and fine shingle with patches of pebbles. Near its eastern end the main beach is separated from the far rockier eastern beach by the outcrop known as the Caervarracks. Parking is relatively straightforward in the large car park behind the beach and shop. There are quite varied pebbles along the strand line including different colours of serpentine for beachcombers. Coastpath walkers may wish to visit Carleon Cove at Poltesco to the southwest or the hut circles and ancient hill fort on cliffs near Poldowrian to the east. Dogs are permitted on the east beach only.
