Best Places for Rock Pooling
A good majority of local beaches have good rock pools, but here are our personal favourites.
Battery Rocks - Penzance
Godrevy Beach - Hayle
Sennen Beach
Tidal Pools
A great, safe alternative to swimming in the sea. Filled with fresh sea water at high tide and warmed by the sun during the day. The nearest tidal pools can be found at:
Cape Cornwall
Chapel Rock – Perranporth
