Dollar Cove Cornwall

Dollar Cove is a small dog friendly cove located on the eastern coast of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, England. It is situated between the villages of Gunwalloe and Porthleven, and it is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich history.

The name "Dollar Cove" originates from the legend that a Spanish treasure ship carrying a cargo of silver dollars sank here in the 18th century. Although this story has never been fully confirmed, many people still believe that there may be hidden treasure buried in the cove's sandy shores.

The cove itself is a picturesque stretch of sand flanked by high cliffs and rocky outcrops. It is a popular spot for beachgoers, swimmers, and snorkelers, and it offers excellent opportunities for exploring the marine life that thrives in the waters around the Lizard Peninsula.

Dollar Cove is also home to several interesting historical features, including the remains of an old shipwreck that can be seen at low tide.

Overall, Dollar Cove is a beautiful and intriguing destination that offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, nature, or simply relaxing on the beach.
