Mullion is the largest village on the Lizard and has shops, inns, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and art galleries aplenty! There is also a golf course nearby. In the centre of the village, the mainly 13th century church of St Mellanus is renowned for its richly-carved oak bench-ends depicting biblical scenes, including that of Jonah and the Whale. The dramatic Mullion Cove is a must. It is owned by the National Trust and has a pretty working harbour with some stunning views from the coastal footpath. Nearby Poldhu Cove is an ideal family beach, famous for another reason. In December 1901, on the cliffs above Poldhu, Marconi conducted his famous experiment in trans-Atlantic radio communications. The main beach for holiday makers is at nearby Pollurian Cove. It is a sandy beach, very popular with surfers.
