Self Catering in and around Coverack
The Coverack area on the east side of the Lizard has every form of self-catering available, from small camping sites to quirky glamping sites, all of which you can find elsewhere on this website. For quaint harbourside cottages this is the best place to look.
Spread along a graceful bay, the pretty village of Coverack, on the east side of the Lizard Peninsula, is still home to a small fishing community as well as being a popular tourist destination.
A sheltered harbour
Sheltered from the winds that blow in off the Atlantic, Coverack was once a busy fishing port, and a centre for the processing of pilchards on this side of the Lizard.
There was also a fair bit of smuggling going on and it is said some of the cottages near the harbour still have secret hiding places. Perhaps you might find one? Several of the cottages are available to rent out as places to stay and provide a great base for exploring this wonderful part of Cornwall.
