Cliff top walks will reward those who dare with views of Dolphins and Seals. Or perhaps embark on a journey of discovery to Prussia Cove, follow in the footsteps of the famous Smuggler John Carter, and although he has long since gone a visit to this enchanting cove will conjure thoughts of Smugglers, Rum, and tall Sailing Ships that every boy dreams of.
Close by is Marazian where the tidal causeway allows visitors and pilgrims to explore St Michaels Mount, whose memorable craggy outline is topped with a diamond of a Medieval Castle and Church.
For the inquisitive, Poldark Mines will share it's history and secrets during the underground tour, or maybe the promise of breath stealing rides, a Victorian Village which rewinds time in an instant, and even a chance to see Tarantulas, and Owls will tempt a visit to Flambards Village.
Praa Sands and surrounding area offers a treasure chest of wonders just waiting to be opened.

Praa Sands (properly pronounced pray; prah or prar are incorrect) is a coastal village in the Parish of Breage, located off the main road between Helston and Penzance in Cornwall, England, UK. Formerly serving the local mining industry.
Praa is the ancient Cornish word meaning "hag's" or "witch's cove".
The village is also the site of a "haunted" castle, a small "keep" building that is in private hands; Pengersick Castle
is also supposed to be one of the most haunted buildings in the UK, and holds regular ghost-hunting activities and other similar pursuits, such as holding events at Christmas and Halloween. It was also investigated in series two of Most Haunted with Yvette Fielding and Derek Acorah.
To the west side of the village is another small beach, Kennegy, which is accessible from the cliff path
at low tide.
