Polurrian Cove is a rural sandy cove situated on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, near the village of Mullion. The beach is approximately 330 metres wide and is surrounded by impressive Cornish cliffs and rugged rocky bluffs. A stream, known as 'the Meres', flows onto the beach and disperses over the sand, and a small wooden bridge is used to cross the stream as part of the coastal path leading down to the beach.
There are no facilities at Polurrian Cove, and access to the beach is only possible on foot along the coastal path. Visitors must be prepared to make their own arrangements for parking, food, and other necessities.
The beach is popular for a range of seaside activities, including swimming, surfing, and exploring the rock pools that appear at low tide. A lifeguard service is provided during weekends and bank holidays from mid-July to early September, but visitors are warned to be cautious of strong currents and large waves, especially when surfing.
Dogs are allowed on the beach outside of the peak summer season, but are banned from July 1 to August 31 between 10am and 6pm.
Polurrian Cove is on The Lizard Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
