Welcome to Dodman Point

Dodman Point is a stunning headland located on the south coast of Cornwall. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline and the English Channel. The headland is home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, dolphins, and seals, making it a great spot for nature lovers. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the coastal path, explore the ancient ruins of the chapel of St. Symphorian, or simply relax and take in the stunning scenery.

One of the most striking features of Dodman Point is its towering cliffs, which rise up to 110 meters above sea level. These cliffs offer a dramatic backdrop to the rugged coastline, and are a popular spot for rock climbing and abseiling. The headland is also home to a number of secluded coves and beaches, which are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. Visitors can explore the rock pools and caves, or simply relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this beautiful spot.

Dodman Point is steeped in history, and has been an important landmark for centuries. The headland was once used as a lookout point for smugglers, who would use the secluded coves and beaches to land their contraband. The ruins of the chapel of St. Symphorian, which date back to the 13th century, are a testament to the area's rich history. Today, Dodman Point is a popular destination for walkers, hikers, and history buffs, who come to explore the ancient ruins and learn about the area's fascinating past.

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
