The cove has a small pebble beach beside beside the harbour and quay with lots of large boulders especially at low tide. The cove is on the South West Coast Path between Porthcurno and Mousehole.  A nice quiet spot for swimming and a good spot for scuba diving, though no lifeguard cover provided. 

PLEASE be aware.. you have to pay to use the carpark, even if you are just turning around in it, you may be fined for not paying. Visit Cornwall have had several complaints recently, but it is a private car park and we have no say in how it is operated. Also, the car park is cash only.

Lamorna Cove Beach has a seasonal dog ban from Easter day to 1 October.
