Dodman Point (Cornish: Penn Ardh) near Mevagissey is the highest headland on the south Cornwall coast, measuring 374 feet (114 m). It is also known by its earlier names of the Deadman and Deadman's Point. It hosts the remains of an Iron Age promontory fort, and at its seaward end is "Parson Martin's Cross" – a large granite cross erected in 1896 to encourage those involved in Christian service, and which aids navigation around the headland. Dodman Point is mentioned in the shanty Spanish Ladies. To its north-east and in its lee is the small anchorage and sand beach of Gorran Haven. Below the large stone cross, there is a way down to the bottom of the small cliffs and there is some climbing there on the faces – mainly bouldering as it is rarely scaled so there are no fixed anchor points.

Vault Beach (or Bow Beach) is situated on the south coast of Cornwall, England, UK, near Gorran Haven. The beach consists mainly of shingle but does have some sand at low tide.

Car parking is available in Gorran Haven and Lamledra which are both some distance from the beach. Toilet facilities are available at Gorran Haven. The southern end of the beach tends to attract naturists. Vault beach was named Vault as during the wind powered days of sail should a ship or boat mess up its navigation and flounder upon the Dodman (Deadman) the bodies would normally wash up on this stretch of beach. The Dodman was quite easy to mistake with Lands End and with the wrong winds could end up with disastrous consequences.
