Frequently Asked Questions

Which area of The Lizard is best to stay in for beaches?

For those prioritising beach access in The Lizard, the best areas to stay are around Lizard Village itself, or the nearby coves of Kynance Cove and Cadgwith.


Lizard Village is the southernmost point of mainland Britain and offers a good base for exploring the local coastline. While the village itself isn't directly on a beach, it's a short walk or drive to several beautiful coves. It's home to a few pubs and shops, and the famous Lizard Lighthouse is a prominent landmark nearby. This area is great for couples who enjoy coastal walks and exploring dramatic scenery, as many footpaths lead directly from the village to various coves.


Kynance Cove, just a few kilometres west of Lizard Village, is renowned for its turquoise waters and serpentine rock formations. Accommodations here are often guesthouses or holiday cottages with stunning views. It's particularly appealing for those seeking a tranquil escape and direct access to one of Cornwall's most photographed beaches.


Cadgwith, a traditional fishing village on the eastern side of The Lizard, offers a different kind of beach experience. Its quaint harbour is still active with fishing boats, and the pebble beach is a lovely spot for watching the daily catch come in.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in The Lizard?

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in The Lizard is during the summer months, from July to August. These months offer the warmest weather, with average temperatures around 19-20°C, making it ideal for enjoying the stunning coastline and local beaches.


During this peak period, families often find the conditions superb for building sandcastles, swimming in the sea, and exploring rock pools. The extended daylight hours mean more time for coastal walks and enjoying the outdoor amenities of beachside hotels. You'll also find a lively option with many local events and activities geared towards holidaymakers.


For a slightly different, yet equally rewarding, experience, May is a fantastic alternative. The weather is pleasantly mild, typically around 14-16°C, which is wonderful for coastal path walking and discovering hidden coves without the bustle of the high season.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in The Lizard for you.
