Priests Cove, also known as St. Just Priests Cove, is a small, sheltered beach situated just west of Cape Cornwall. The beach is characterised by its rocky shoreline and limited access to the sea, which can be reached via a slipway.
The cove features a man-made saltwater swimming pool, carved out of the rocks, making it a popular destination for local families with children. At low tide, the beach offers rock pools, providing a magical location for a dip, with the twin rocks, The Brisons, visible in the distance. The beach also offers excellent views and wonderful cliff walks.
The beach is good for fishing and relaxing, and its sheltered location makes it an attractive spot for those seeking a peaceful coastal experience. A National Trust car park is located just behind the beach, providing convenient parking for visitors.
St. Just Priests Cove is on the Penwith Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
