View of the Cornwall Coast from the South West Coast Path

Highlight • Trail

A nice spot on the rocks just down from the SW coastal path. It's a bit of a steep descent and someone's fitted a rope to hold onto, be careful!

Just behind Par beach is a small wetland. A few chalets from Par Sands Holiday Park look out across the lake which must make for a beautiful view at sunrise & sunset.

In years gone past it was a model boating lake but now a tranquil nature reserve.
