Most of the headland is owned by the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]]. [[National Coastwatch Institution|National Coastwatch]] has a look-out on the seaward side. The only tourist infrastructure at present is a car park (owned by the National Trust), public toilets, and a refreshments counter during the summer.

[[The Brisons]], two offshore rocks, are located approximately {{convert|1|mile|abbr=on}} southwest of Cape Cornwall. They mark the starting line of the annual swimming race ending at [[Priest Cove]].<ref name="Ordnance"/><ref name ="Joseph"/>
