Cadgwith Cove is an old-world Cornish fishing village with two beach areas. The east beach is the home of the village’s small fleet of crabbing boats winched up on the beach.
The second west beach is the swimming beach, a small shingle beach with rocks to climb and explore. The boat beach is easily accessible whilst the swimming beach is down some steep steps.
Dogs are allowed all year on Cadgwith Cove’s east beach. However, thereโs a seasonal dog ban on the west beach between 10 am and 6 pm from 1st July to the end of August.
The village had a lifeboat, starting in 1867 with a rowing boat and finishing with the Guide of Dunkirk in 1963.
A little to the south along the coast path is the Devil’s Frying Pan, a 200 foot deep hole in the cliffs formed many years ago when a cave collapsed.
