Cornwall’s coast is Britain’s most celebrated shoreline: golden surf beaches, granite cliffs, and fishing harbors painted by generations of artists. St Ives galleries overlook Porthminster beach, the South West Coast Path links hidden coves, and Land’s End marks the dramatic southwestern extremity of mainland England.
