Prussia Cove and Coast

Cuddan Rose is ideally located to enjoy the coast - with two coves and three very different beaches within 2.5 miles.

Prussia Cove / Piskies Cove

Prussia Cove was home to the infamous smuggler, John Carter Prussia Cove is the Cornish venue for a twice-yearly International Musicians Seminar (IMS) which boasts, in directive and advisory roles respectively, the illustrious duo Steven Isserlis and Andras Schiff.  For more information visit http://www.i-m-s.org.uk/ The 30,000 ton HMS Warspite broke its tow off the cove in 1947 as it was being taken to the breaker's yard. She was eventually pulled off the rocks, but then floundered again at Marazion, where she broke up.

Cuddan Point

A site of Special Scientific Interest with unique flora and fauna.  Views across all of Mount's Bay to the Lizard Peninsula and westward towards Land's End Peninsula.  Nearby are many coves and caves, which provide a nearby enjoyable coastal walk.

Kenneggy

Kenneggy offers beautiful sands and safe calm waters.  Set in an unusually quiet location, the beach access at high tide is quite steep, therefore you need to be reasonably fit and able!

Perranuthnoe

A good beginners surfing spot.Occasional good right-handers breaking near the rocks at the North West end of the beach. A good place to check when Praa Sands is too big, and it doesn't get too busy. 

Praa Sands

Praa Sands consists of a collection of mostly 20th century houses, a few small shops and a wonderful stretch of sand in a bay with good surf.  Ample car parking space is available and a bus service to Penzance and Helston. Lifeguard Service: The council employs a lifeguard team to cover from May 27th through to 10th September and is in operation seven days a week between the hours of 10am and 6pm.  During the winter months the council provides lifeguard cover over the weekends at Praa Sands and Portreath. Dog free in the summer. Picks up more swell than Perranuthanoe. The North end receives some protection from West winds by the point, of which a fast right sometimes breaks. The East end can have dangerous rips in a big swell. For a detailed picture of the beach, please click here
