Kynance is a stunning cove and the views as you walk towards it from the cliff top are unbeatable. It is a steep descent but we'll worth the walk. national trust carpark. It get extremely busy there in the summer. Most of the beach area disappears at high tide.
Check the tides to plan your trip on https://www.cornwall-beaches.co.uk/helston-lizard-falmouth/kynance-cove-weather.htm
if you are there at high tide and the steps are cut off, walk up the hill beside the cafe to walk via the cliff top to the car park.

Public toilets and places to eat/take out.
Beware - watch out for the seagulls in the streets of St Ives and the beaches there, they will swoop down, pinch your food, kids icecreams etc. They will even lift your towels off your bags on the beach to get to any food!

A visit to lands End is a must, if we are honest, the attraction/ park element to it isn't.
The area is an area of outstanding natural beauty, there is a charge for pictures by the famous lands end signpost but there are times later in the day when the attraction element of it closes that you can just go to the sign and take your own photos.
If you are lucky enough to catch a sunset there, you will not be disappointed.
The attraction park however does hold fireworks displays in July/Aug.

When staying in Cornwall, a visit to St Ives is a must, in peak times and school holidays it will be super busy.
There are a number of car parks but if I'm honest we avoid these at peak times and catch the train if heading to Carbis Bay or St Ives. From Penzance train station you catch a connecting train at St Erth or alternatively there is a park and ride at St Erth.

Our favourites if eating in St Ives, are Talay Thai, The Hub and The Mermaid. Its advisable to book restaurants in St Ives as we have wandered the streets of St ives on a bank holiday weekend trying to book somewhere with no luck. The Hub however are not taking bookings June to Sept 22 and ask you swing by and they will do their best to seat you.
