At low tide this is a large beach with incredibly soft sand. The location is stunning and the sea is good for snorkelling. There are some lovely rockpools and caves for exploring.

There is a campsite nearby so prepare for it to be busy during summer holidays.

Access to the beach is via a scramble over rocks so isn't the easiest. At high tide there is no usable beach and so do check tidal times before you arrive and be ready to leave before high tide.

There used to also be access via a ladder and stairway but this is no longer there and the path to it has also been blocked off due to unstable ground. If anyone hears that this stairway is replaced and the pathway considered safe again please do let ANW know.

Getting There

Town / County / State Rosudgeon, Penzance, Cornwall
Zip / Postal Code TR20 9AR
Directions This beach is accessible from the coastal path it is to the West of Praa sands and can be walked to from the Praa Sands car parks.

More direct access is from the smaller Bessy's Cove carpark. Turn off the A394 opposite the Packet Inn pub in the direct of Prussia Cove. Follow the narrow, one lane, road through several turns until you get to the roads end and a small carpark. Then follow the public footpath/private road way until you get to Prussia Cove (about a ten minute walk). You will pass Bessy's Cove below on your right and walk through the beautiful rental accommodation of Porth En Alls. Head down to Prussia Cove just before you get to the run of "Coastguard cottages" that you will be able to view ahead to your left. Once on Prussia Cove beach scramble over the rocks to the East to get to Kenneggy Cove beach.
