Kynance Cove

With famous visitors including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as well as the poet Alfred Tennyson, there's a certain unique appeal to Kynance Cove that can only be experienced in person. The South West Coast Path fortunately provides ample opportunities to see Kynance from above in all its glory as it traverses past sheer cliffs and past strange rock formations. The trail carries on south to Lizard Point, mainland Britain's most southerly spot!

There's a wealth of activities to get involved in at Kynance, suiting everybody. At low tide, explore the caves along the beach or observe the marine creatures hanging about in the rock pools. If that's not quite your cup of tea, there's a great stretch of sand to sunbathe on at low tide. In the warmer months you an take a dip in the sea at Kynance, though we recommend swimming in pairs and not going too far out.

Kynance Cove recently made its way onto our TV screens in the fantasy series 'House of the Dragon.' Scarcely recognisable in the fog of war, Kynance stars as the battleground site on the Stepstones.

Please note: There is a seasonal dog ban in place from 1st July to 31st August, between the hours of 10am and 6pm. There are no lifeguards at this beach - visitors need to be aware of the tide to avoid getting cut off.
