Coverack, Cornwall travel guide and Coverack information

Visit Coverack

Coverack is a small village east coast of the Lizard peninsula.

It is centred around a small harbour (dating from the early 18th century) on a small peninsula and is generally agreed to be one of the most attractive of the traditional Cornish villages - as much an 'undiscovered jewel' as can be hoped for in busy Cornwall.

Visit Coverack

Take the time to simply sit at the harbour, glance over the shoulders of the artists painting the view, and watch the fishing boats bobbing up and down - and absorbing the atmosphere of this pretty place

Coverack beach is just across from the harbour. It is a sandy beach popular with surfers and families.

Coverack is also popular with divers exploring the dangerous underwater rocks known as the Manacles - historically very dangerous for ships and boats in the region, the concealed Manacles have claimed many lives over the centuries.
