Just a few minute's drive north from Sandbank Holidays along the B3301 coast road lies Hell's Mouth, offering some of the most dramatic views Cornwall has to offer.

Steep rugged cliffs provide valuable nesting sites for a variety of seabirds, not to mention a breeding ground for folklore and legend, with the area providing the backdrop for tales of smuggling and lost souls.

The North Cliffs span the four miles from Godrevy Point, just to the east of Hell's Mouth, to Portreath, itself a popular tourist spot with a sheltered sandy beach. While not at the top of most holiday maker's 'to do' list, secret, pristine coves, seal colonies, and the moody beauty of this stretch of coast make it well worthy of exploration.
