As the most westerly village in the UK, this Cornish settlement boasts a claim to fame that alone draws visitors to its doorstep.
Blessed with a temperate climate, exotic gardens, and miles of spectacular coastline dotted with independent retailers, there's easily a full day's worth of attractions and exploration to occupy you in St Just.
Situated near Land's End and merely eight miles from Penzance, this stunning location is also rich in heritage, having once served as the hub of the tin mining trade.
At St Just's heart lies Plain-an-Gwarry, a theatre that hosted performances during medieval times.
Today it plays host to the Lafrowda Festival, according to Cornwall Guide, reports the Express.
Within the grounds of St Just Church, there are magnificent exotic gardens that have thrived in the Roseland peninsula's gentle climate.
Hailed as one of the most beautiful churchyards by poet John Betjeman, it slopes down to a creek reminiscent of a fairy tale.
It also sits next to Cape Cornwall, which during historical sailing eras navigators mistakenly thought was 'Land's End', marking the point where the English Channel and St Georges Channel converge.
The headland was bought for the nation by Heinz Ltd in 1987 and subsequently gifted to the National Trust to commemorate the company's centenary, according to Visit Cornwall.
The coastal rocks are known locally as "General De Gaul in the bath" due to their silhouette when observed from the mainland. Annually, swimmers tackle the mile-long stretch between the rocks and the cove.
Should you fancy taking a plunge yourself, you might catch sight of grey seals playfully bobbing in the waters.
Following the South West Coast Path reveals numerous secluded beaches waiting to be discovered. Several of these locations featured in the BBC's popular drama Poldark, showcasing the region's smuggling heritage.
Notable spots include Botallack, Levant and Geevor.
Tours of these filming locations are available, as noted on Tripadvisor.
One five-star reviewer commented on the experience: "We had such a lovely day with Becky. She was so knowledgeable not just about Poldark but about the history and culture of Cornwall. We also had a stop at the Minack Theater which was fantastic and although not related to Poldark was a unique piece of Cornish history that was so fun to explore. 10/10 would highly recommend."
Botallack mine welcomes visitors and comes highly recommended on Tripadvisor. The spectacular vistas offer views across a rugged and striking coastline.
One visitor awarded the experience five stars, commenting: "Incredible views of the remains of the Crowns, Cornish engine houses perched on the cliff edge. Right on the SWCP coast path, a path leads down to the engine house or there are benches at the top of the path where you can have a picnic and enjoy the view."
They went on to say: "Nearby Botallack Counthouse (National Trust) is a café which serves home made pasties and cakes and has games to entertain children. Large car park (pay and display, National Trust members free). A fabulous place to visit in any weather, in hazy summer sun or in passionate winter storms."
