Location: South Coast - 1 mile east of St. Keverne

Looking north along Godrevy Cove from near Shag Rock


Godrevy Cove lies on the east coast of the Lizard Peninsula, approximately one mile east of St. Keverne. It is approached by field paths down from the hamlet of Rosenithon and is quite often overlooked by the casual visitor to the area. It has quite a coarse dark sand beach backed by shingle. About one mile offshore lie the Mistrel Rock, Carn Du Rocks and The Varses better known as the infamous Manacle Rocks (Mên Eglos) site of many a shipwreck.
