LOCATION
Housel Bay is a coveted location offering peace and tranquility yet within easy reach of The Lizard Village. Tucked away just behind The Lizard Point you will find this stunningly pretty little cove. Set at the bottom of craggy, dark serpentine cliffs is a glistening stretch of near white sand with the clearest turquoise water imaginable. The beach here is relatively sheltered, particularly considering it is within a stone's throw of the most southerly point in mainland Britain. The high cliffs also provide plenty of cover from the wind.
The most southerly village in Mainland Britain, The Lizard itself offers a wide range of day to day facilities to include a primary school, butchers and public house as well as a comprehensive range of shops and eateries, also within catchment for the extremely well regarded Mullion Secondary School which has been commended in the national press.
Standing proud in the sea, The Lizard Peninsula presents a rugged face to the elements, yet paradoxically the climate is probably one of the warmest in Britain and home to rare and endangered plants as well as the unique metamorphic Serpentine rock that it is famous for; here the air is crisp, clear and unpolluted by industry. With The Lizard as a base one is perfectly placed to access all of the delights that South West Cornwall has to offer from stunning coastal walks along the dramatic cliffs of the Lizard Point to the beautiful nearby beaches including Coverack with it’s crystal clear waters, the iconic Kynance Cove and traditional fisherman’s cove at Cadgwith. Wider facilities are on offer in nearby Mullion and Helston with Helston offering two major supermarkets as well as a range of schooling options.
