Trevaunance Cove / St. Agnes is a place of outstanding beauty and of historical significance as a once important centre for tin and copper mining. Today St Agnes is a thriving village in it's own right.

There is a wonderful beach with rock pools and caves patronized by local surfers, fishermen and holiday makers alike. Local inns include the wonderful “Driftwood Spars” which as well as being a truly Cornish Pub with all the paraphernalia one associates with that also serves delicious, locally farmed, caught and bred food. It is also host to a vibrant live music scene.
