Penzance is a thriving town packed with local shops for everything you need, from our favourite Cornish pasty to small homeware shops. Built on everything you relate to Cornwall like mining, agriculture, and fishing, this once small village has now become a favourite seaside resort for tourists, seeking scenic views with a good transport system and golden beaches for the family.
Lusty Glaze Beach is one of the smaller beaches which at low tide connects all neighbouring beaches together. Lusty is a steep walk down and benefits from the high cliffs that back on to this beach as it protects you from the wind. Although this beach is privately owned its fully open to the public at no cost. This Cornish beach is home to an adventure center with various act-ivies such as climbing, bungee jumping, surfing and other watersports. Located in Newquay this beach can get busy during summertimes as its great for the family but please be careful as the cliffs are eroding at a fast rate so we advise not to sit underneath them if you can help it!
