Bossiney Cove

Bossiney Cove is a secluded beach located in Cornwall, England. It is known for its natural beauty, including a small waterfall and a variety of rock formations. The beach is particularly large at low tide, revealing numerous rocks to climb, as well as arches and caves to explore. At high tide, the beach is smaller but still suitable for swimming.

The cove is accessed via a steep, rocky track, which can be challenging to navigate, especially in wet conditions. Despite a metal fence intended to block the path, visitors often bypass it to reach the beach. The path is uneven in areas and requires careful navigation. It is recommended to wear appropriate footwear and check the weather before visiting.

The beach can become busier during peak times, such as school half-term holidays, and when coasteering groups visit. Despite this, it is often described as a hidden gem due to its secluded location. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the crystal clear water, and at low tide, it is possible to find quartz stones on the beach.

There is a car park near the beach, which charges a small fee for all-day parking but closes at 7pm. It is also recommended to check the tide times before visiting, as the beach is only accessible at low tide. From the beach, there are hiking trails that offer views of Tintagel Castle and the surrounding area.
