THE LOCATION

A three acre sandy beach and crystal clear sea awaits visitors to this beautiful fishing village. Only ten miles from Helston and twenty one miles from Falmouth. Coverack offers peaceful, yet easily accessible, living. Unlike some fishing villages there are no single track roads to the village and that is an important reason why so many people move to Coverack and our Dave who works in our Heather & Lay Falmouth office and lives here, champions the sociable community as a major reason for choosing Coverack as home. Dave would be very willing to talk to anyone wishing to know more about the activities in the village. The local shop offers most provisions and The Loft where you can get Cornish Roskilly s ice cream. The village local is The Paris Hotel, built by the Redruth Brewery back in 1907 and named after the liner SS PARIS which ran aground on the headland on Whit Monday 1899 offering good quality food and drink don t forget the Wednesday night quiz or if it is just fish and chips you are after then pop along to Mark at the old lifeboat house. Robin & Chris can teach you windsurfing, or, hire out kayaks or paddle boards and Marshall & Hannah offer a wide selection of local crafts gifts in the Old Mill House. Plenty of good walks are on the doorstep along the coastal path where hidden beaches, wildlife, flora and rocky outcrops present great interest, peaceful and spectacular scenery.
