Our story
A Cornish family shop, since 2012
We started Down The Cove on the Lizard Peninsula at Mullion, choosing useful coastal kit with care and selling it the way we'd want to be sold to — honestly, and only after a proper chat.
Today the same family still packs every order by hand, still answers the phone, and still believes good advice is part of the parcel.
— the Down The Cove family
