Kennack Sands
Two linked stretches of sand backed by dunes and a nature reserve on the Lizard's eastern shore, gentler than anything on the west side. Dogs are out 10am to 6pm in July and August only. The eastern beach is the quieter of the two and the walk between them is cut off at high water.
Kynance Cove
Serpentine stacks and islands in turquoise water, probably the most photographed cove in Cornwall and a stiff walk down from the National Trust car park. The ban is the shorter one, 1 July to 31 August between 10am and 6pm, and the cove largely disappears at high tide anyway. The clifftop path here is exposed with sheer drops.
Poldhu Cove
A broad sandy cove with a stream running across it, below the headland where Marconi sent the first transatlantic signal. The restriction runs 10am to 6pm through July and August, so June and September mornings are unrestricted. Church Cove at Gunwalloe, the next cove north, carries the same dates.
