Kynance Cove is on a dramatic and historic stretch of the Cornish coast – white sand, cliffs, turquoise water and multi-coloured islands.
It is an excellent location for walking and spending the day on the beach, although Kynance Cove Beach has seasonal dog restrictions, prohibiting dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am and 6 pm. At low tide, there is sand, caves and rock pools.
Kynance Cove is often missed as visitors go straight for The Lizard, but we believe that this cove is the place for you if you want a stunning coastal location rather than amusements. Dramatic cliff-top walks, rare wildflowers and unique geology.
Lizard Wireless Station, site of ground-breaking radio experiments.
NT car parks with toilets at Kynance and Lizard Point, cafe and shop, no lifeguards.
“Kynans” means gorge in the Cornish language.
