The South West Coast Path runs along the bottom of the garden. Walking eastwards takes around one and half hours to reach the historic harbour of Porthleven and westwards takes two to three hours to reach Perranuthnoe via Prussia Cove and a little further to reach Marazion and St Michaels Mount.

Also worth a visit within walking distance is the iconic Trewavas mine:

Praa Sands Beach: Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide Recommended – excellent water quality. Patrolled throughout the year by the RNLI Coastguard.

Located in the south West-facing bay between the Lizard and Lands End, the mile-long sandy beach is backed with sheltering sand dunes and its easily accessible position is enjoyed by families having fun in the shallows and rock pools while further out the surfers take on the waves.

Praa Sands itself is a ten minute walk from Sea Home along the coastal path. At Resodgeon there is a Co-Op store selling daily newspapers, fresh bread, eggs, bacon, milk, around 2 miles away.

Local attractions include the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, St Ives (take the train from St Erth Station – stunningly scenic and solves parking the car), the Penlee House Gallery & Museum in Penzance, St Michael’s Mount, the Lizard & Manaccan Peninsular and many National Trust houses & gardens, tin mine museums and RNLI Lifeboat Stations.

The Helford River isn’t far away as is the St Just in Roseland Peninsular & ST Mawes using the King Harry Ferry.
