Nanjizal Bay

This hidden gem requires a scenic coastal path walk from Land's End (or Porthgwarra), rewarding visitors with one of Cornwall's most secluded beaches where pristine white sand nestles between granite headlands. The famous Song of the Sea cave creates haunting acoustics when waves crash through its opening, while the beach's isolation ensures it's rarely crowded. The walk follows the South West Coast Path through wild West Penwith landscape, passing ancient sites and abandoned tin mines. Swimming requires caution due to strong currents and no lifeguards, but for those seeking solitude and natural beauty, Nanjizal represents Cornwall at its most magical and unspoiled.
