Polnare Cove is situated around the corner from the Nare Point headland and can only be accessed on foot, either by descending steps from the headland or by walking along the coastal path. Visitors can also reach the cove by boat.
The cove offers a range of activities for visitors to enjoy, including tide pooling, walking, and photography. The rocky shoreline is ideal for discovering marine life during low tide, while the surrounding cliffs provide breathtaking views of the coastline and a dramatic backdrop for nature walks.
As with many coastal areas in Cornwall, visitors to Polnare Cove should be cautious of the tides and currents. It is essential to check tide times to avoid getting cut off while exploring the beach or surrounding areas. Additionally, there are no lifeguards on duty, so swimming may not be advisable.
Polnare Cove is located near the South West Coast Path, which offers stunning views of the coastline. Visitors can walk along the path to Nare Point and visit the NCI Nare Point Watch Station, which looks out over Falmouth Bay.
Polnare Cove is adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
