The section of coastline between Godrevy and Portreath is a heritage coast and it offers stunning views across the dramatic cliffs, sea and down to the wide sandy beach of Godrevy and its 18th century lighthouse.

If walking along the cliff path be sure to look out for seals as they are frequently seen along this stretch of coast.

Hell's Mouth Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the cliffs above Hell’s Mouth, you get a spectacular view out to sea. The dark cove, situated underneath a sheer rock face, has been the subject of much tragedy and legend over the years. Don't step too close to the edge of these ominous cliffs to get a better view as there have been many landslides, including a time when 110,000 tons of earth and rock collapsed into the sea — and was caught on camera.

Hell's Mouth Seal Colony Viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

The coast path runs along steep cliffs and at this point you can look down at Hell's Mouth, an inaccessible bay often home to hundreds of seals lolling on the sand or popping up in the swell.
