Gull Rock lies just offshore of Trebarwith Strand. This beach served as a busy quarry port long before the tourists came. Evidence of this can be seen in the tall rock spires behind Hole Beach, actually the unworked remains of Lanterdan Quarry. Cutting the stone and loading it onto boats was harsh work, and could be lethal; in 1889 three men vanished into the sea when the face that they were boring sheared off the cliff.
