About Helston and the Lizard

Helston is a small market town in west Cornwall, known for its Flora Day, held every May and celebrated with dancing through the streets. The town sits a few kilometres inland from the Lizard peninsula, which is the southernmost point of mainland Britain. The area is famous for its rugged serpentine rock, sheltered coves and sandy beaches, and for a landscape that changes quickly between the moorland and the sea.

What to watch on the camera

The view is most rewarding in clear weather, when the light on the water and the coastline is easy to make out. Conditions change often in this part of Britain, so the stream is worth checking at different times of day. Morning light tends to be calm and bright, while later in the day the sea and sky can take on warmer tones. Sea state and cloud cover will shape much of what you see, so the live picture is the best guide to conditions at the moment.

Practical notes for visiting

Cornwall has a mild, maritime climate, with cool summers and wet, windy winters, so spring and early autumn are often pleasant for walking. Kennack Sands is reached by road from Helston, and parking and facilities can be limited, so plan ahead. Nearby cameras on this site show Mullion, Hayle and Marazion, which can help you compare conditions along the Cornish coast.
