Safer Swimming Guide - Church Cove

First things first, it’s the Church Cove on the east side of the Lizard. There are two!

I love this swim. Make sure you do stick to the swimming cove at Cadgwith…the one to the south / right hand side. The other ‘fishing cove’ can have heavy boat traffic.

You can find the Devil’s Frying Pan to the south. Just make sure you swim with a friend and I can’t stress how serious I am about the swell. Anything larger than 1-1.5m from any direction will result un swell rolling in and some potentially quite rough conditions. I’ve only ever cancelled 2 swims from the actual swim location (just prior to the start of a swim) and Cadgwith was one of those locations! A NW swell somehow got in there…it looks impossible.
