  • The Haven beach is a beach of sand, pebbles and rocks that sits below Tintagel Castle. At high tide, all you have is some large rocks but this is a spectacular location with a waterfall coming down from the valley onto the rocks.

    Tintagel is more famous for the nearby castle than a beach and you can just imagine the supply boats being unloaded in times gone by. The castle is associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

    The path from the village down to the beach and castle is steep although English Heritage provided transport for a small fee. Once at the bottom of the valley you have the castle visitor shop, toilets, exhibition and cafe. To get to the beach itself is then a further set of steps.

    In all The Haven beach is worth a visit when combining with the castle.

      Tintagel Castle

      Now in ruins Tintagel Castle is Cornwall’s most iconic site where the legend of King Arthur was born. A strong hold of the Earls of Cornwall, the castle was built in the 13th Century. Located on one of the most dramatic and windswept locations in Cornwall. You have a small exhibition and shop along with a cafe. You need to be energetic to visit the castle as you have to negotiate a hill down from the village and then up many steps, once at the top there is lots to explore. The path down from the village has a landrover service for a small charge.

      Bossiney and Benoath Cove Beach

      Favorite
      Bossiney and Benoath Cove located in a sheltered haven below the stunning cliffs of Bossiney, a small hamlet on the outskirts of Tintagel.  Bossiney is situated on one of the most romantic stretches of coastline, much of which is now preserved by the National Trust. Bossiney beach and Benoath cove are small that has minimal access at high tide, but as the tide goes out it reveals a long stretch of golden sand. It is a very easy descent to Bossiney beach, whereas the path down to Benoath is a steep. No facilities listed.
