About Lewinnick Cove

Lewinnick Cove is the rocky inlet out towards the end of Pentire Headland in Newquay, below Lewinnick Lodge, where the land meets the open Atlantic. It is a place to stop on a coast path walk and watch the sea, rather than a beach for swimming.

What to expect

Expect craggy rocks, crashing waves and big views along the coast. Lewinnick Lodge sits on the hillside above, with a sea view terrace where you can stop for food or a drink, and well behaved dogs are welcome in its bar and on the terrace.

Finding Lewinnick Cove

Pentire Headland, Newquay, Cornwall TR7 1QD. Park at the Pentire Headland car park, reached by the number 58 bus from town, and follow the lane down towards Lewinnick Lodge.

Good to know

The rocks are exposed to Atlantic swell, so keep clear of the water’s edge in rough seas.
