Things to do in and around Coverack
Terence Coventry Sculpture Park. Terence sadly passed away a few years ago, (terence-coventry-obituary) Entrance is free of charge , however there is a donation box.
Turn right out of Corner College towards the pub. Sharp right up School Hill to Sunny Corner past the Coast Guards Cottages (cottages on the right, allotments on the left). Don't turn left on to the coastal path, bear right and take the steps. Continue across a field. You will come to a very old thatched farm house and then a very tidy bungalow. Immediately after the bungalow you will see a sign on the right. Take the path and just keep walking through the woods, past a field that usually has 3 cows, so dogs on leads.
On another occasion take the sign for the coastal path out to Chynalls Point. Go through the gate to the end of the headland. The wild ponies that are sometimes on the headland are very tame. You can also drop down to Mears Beach, which is a sandy cove and not very busy.
There are stunning views along the South West Coastal Path. The path runs right out side our door, turn left or right and just keep walking. If you are a keen walker. Walk to Helford Village along the Coastal Path - stop off at Fat Apples for a late breakfast or early lunch and dinner at the Shipwrights. Taxi back. Alternatively, turn right, picnic lunch on the way and dinner at the Cadgwith Cove Inn. Taxi back.
A less challenging walk St Keverne to Porthoustock/Porthallow. The walk to Porthoustock follows a wooded valley to the beach for a longer and circular walk continue to Porthallow.
Coverack Wind Surfing School where you can also hire Paddle Boards and Kayaks.

2 of my favourite days out.
A trip on the Helford river. helfordrivercruises.co.uk. There are other companies but this is the best one as the boatman is very interesting and the boat is small, so can get into all the little creeks. You need to book. If the boat leaves early (depends on the tides), consider having breakfast at the Budock Vean Hotel, which is where you take the boat from.
Park the car at St Lelant Train Station . Walk the coastal path to St. Ives (lunch at Pothminster Cafe. Take the very scenic train journey back from St. Ives to Lelant. Check train times as the trains don’t always stop at Lelant.
