About Lye Rock
About Lye Rock in Boscastle
It is part of Cornwall’s coast offering — useful for swim, surf, sandcastle days, or a cliff-top walk depending on the stretch. Tide, wind, and lifeguard cover change through the year. It also sits within easy reach of the wider Boscastle area, so it works well as part of a longer Cornish itinerary rather than a single stop.
