Sightseeing

This is beautiful place to visit and is easily reached on foot from the appartment. The castle is open on certain days and has amazing views. The Island is connected by boat at high tide and a causeway at low tide. To walk start from by the Bus station and just follow the paved path along the beaches. It's about 30/40 minutes and easy to bus back if need be.

Busy and Touristy? yes. But also very pretty, nice beaches, cafes, restaurants and galleries. Surfing too. Very close by train from Penzance and the train ride is beautiful along clifftops over sweeping beaches

Its little and scenic (and walkable from the appartment if you like a decent walk). If you're after cottages and an old style fishing harbour it's nice to wander about. Also famous for its Christmas lights that fill the harbour and draw crowds...lovely and worth a visit
