Mullion Cove on the west coast of the Lizard Peninsula is a small sandy beach, mostly covered at high tide, beside the historic lifeboat station and picturesque Mullion harbour.

There is a great cave to explore at low tide where waves often crash through from the seaward entrance. Mullion Cove is around 5 miles from Lizard Point, the southerly-most point on mainland Britain.

At Mullion follow the directions to keep on the B3296 to Mullion Cove. Park in the car parks and walk down the road to the harbour, taking about 5 minutes.

Owned and looked after by the National Trust, this charity is able to care and conserve areas like this thanks to their members, volunteers and donors.
