A beautiful fishing village with a small harbour and a sheltered crescent shaped beach that is ideal for swimming and windsurfing. The old lifeboat house and slipway reflect a past rich in maritime history. The Coverack lifeboat rescued many from the Manacles, one and-a-half square miles of jagged rocks just beneath the waves. Smuggling was a regular, and often necessary, way of life in these parts. A liner by the name of The Paris was stranded on the Manacles in 1899, and lends its name to the local pub/hotel. The village has shops selling local crafts and a carnival, regatta and lifeboat day are held annually.
