What visitors say
A great coastpath pit stop. Walking from Porthcurno to Nanjizal. Boys loved exploring with little gem. With cave walkways & holes. Porthgwarra cove cafe super for a refreshing drink & snacks with garden area. Seasonal operations so maybe check beforehand.

We visited towards the end of the day, when the beach was mostly in shadow. Really nice place, which has caves and lots of rocks to clamber over, looking in the various pools to see what you can spot. Very photogenic and a great place to spend some time, with a cafe and toilets close by, and ample parking as long as you can manage the narrow roads to get there.

Small but beautiful beach with clean water. We stopped and a quick swim during our coastal walk on a sunny day. What a refreshing experience. And the cafe at the entrance was very handy and serves delicious Moonmaid ice cream and locally made pasty.

Amazing place. We were lucky to have a sunny day during our visit. Loved climbing the rocks just on the other side of the little tunnel. Very cosy outdoor cafe offers refreshments. Just get ready for the narrow roadway to reach the site. But it worth that.
