Entertainment & Activities
Prussia Cove is designated an AONB and is not only a beautiful location but steeped in history. This was the base for the Carter Brothers who used to smuggle good in here from France. the cove was actually renamed after John Carter's obsession with the King of Prussia. lots more via google. At low tide one can also still see the cart tracks cut into the rocks by the smugglers to haul the booty up from the beach.
It is also a lovely cove to spend a sunny day swimming and exploring.

Various pubs and clubs here for the young at heart, with some more modern pubs but many old traditional pubs steeped in history and overflowing with character.

At high tide one can get a small ferry boat from Marazion, in its self an interesting old town, across the bay to the Mount for about a pound, but at low tide the mount is accessible via a cobbled causeway. As a National Trust property members can get in for free but others can enter for a nominal fee. the views from the turrets are well worth the climb up the narrow stairs

Sightseeing
At St Erth Station, with ample affordable parking, one can get a train to St Ives which runs above Hayle harbour and the beaches at Lellant and offers fantastic views across the bay to Godrevy lighthouse. This short trip has been recommended as one of the most scenic train trips in the UK. Of course this also solves the big problem of parking in St Ives which originally being a small fishing village with streets designed for the odd horse and cart, is not ideal for todays transport or parking requirements. Famed for the incredible light resulting from the clear sea and clean air, coupled with the reflections off the golden sand, this is a favoured location for artists of all levels.
