Nanjizal Beach, a small and secluded cove located near Land's End in Cornwall, offers a unique and breathtaking experience for those who venture to this remote destination.

Nanjizal Beach is situated slightly to the south of Land's End and can be reached via a footpath from the South West Coast Path. The beach is a small cove consisting of rock and sand, providing spectacular seascape views.

The cove is characterised by a waterfall, streams, and a distinctive slit arch in the cliff known as the Song of the Sea. The beach is typically rocky, but sand can be present at times. The area is also home to numerous rockpools and caves, making it an ideal spot for exploration.

It is essential to note that Nanjizal Beach has no facilities, and the access path involves a long and potentially challenging walk down to the cove. As a result, it may not be suitable for families or those with mobility issues. Additionally, the beach is considered remote and can be hazardous, with strong currents and rocky terrain.

Swimming is generally considered safe within the cove, but caution should always be exercised. The beach is an ideal spot for those seeking solitude, and dogs are allowed on the beach. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, but should be mindful of the tide times and potential hazards.

Nanjizal Beach is on the Penwith Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
