5.3 miles from Penhallick
Rugged granite ledges around the Mawnan side of the Helford mouth (Rosemullion Head). Deep water close in over kelp and broken ground with tide run on the headland points; pockets of cleaner sand toward Maenporth. Very snaggy but productive: wrasse and pollack from the gullies, summer pelagics in clearer water,...

6.0 miles from Penhallick
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...
