Shingle and sand either side of a working fishing harbour on the Lizard's sheltered east coast. Coverack is not among the beaches covered by Cornwall Council's dogs-on-beaches order, so there is no seasonal closure here at all. The clifftop path south towards Lowland Point is easy going by Lizard standards.
Archies Loft is a place to eat on The Cove, Coverack. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Bay Hotel is a place to stay on North Corner, Coverack. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Seven and a third miles south round Black Head to a hidden cove under an Iron Age cliff castle, four hours with 300 metres of climbing on a coast path that is rocky and slow rather than steep. It starts from the Coverack car park and there is no shop or tap between there and the turn, so carry water for the dog as well as yourself. Stiles are reported fine for dogs and every beach on this stretch, five of them, allows dogs all year, which makes it the best long August walk on the Lizard; the compensation is a great deal of unfenced clifftop.
Nobody has written one for Coverack Beach. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
