At the end of Gwithian beach is Godrevy lighthouse. Also a lesser-known sight in West Cornwall, and something that always makes for a worthwhile trip - is the resident seal colony. You have to plan your visit for low tide, as at high tide
the beach disappears and seals take to the sea to catch their dinner.
