8.8 miles from Manaccan
A dramatic serpentine-rock cove on the Lizard with deep kelp-filled gullies and a strong tide run around Asparagus Island. Fishing is from uneven, wave-washed rocks over very rough ground; expect tackle losses. Summer brings excellent wrasse and pollack sport, with mackerel and garfish on clearer, calmer days and bass in...
