Geography
The 79.7-hectare (197-acre) site, notified in 1994, is located 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south of the town of Falmouth, within the Lizard Peninsula. It starts at Ponsence Cove in the north, at the discharge point of the Helford River, near St Anthony-in-Meneage village and continues south along the coast of the English Channel to Porthoustock in the south.[1][2]
The South West Coast Path runs through the SSSI, which also contains two Geological Conservation Review sites.[2][3] The Lower Fal & Helford Intertidal SSSI overlaps the upper portion of the Meneage Coastal Section.[1]
