A secluded cove surrounded by towering cliffs, with a sandy beach and crystal-clear turquoise water, perfect for swimming and sunbathing, and a scenic coastal path offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.
We walked from St Ives to Zennor beach, and the coastal walk is fabulous for views. A little tricky in places as you have to camber over bolders. In general the path is good... I wouldn't do it in anything other than suitable footwear. Even if its a nice sunny day. We were disappointed when we arrived at Zennor Beach as it was just rocks, not really what we'd class as a beach. Found our way to The Tinners Arms for some refreshments then cought the open top bus back. The bus stop is just up the road opposite the pub... Maps said this walk was about an hour and half.. I'd double that...
The walk Zennor to St.Ives (that can be done as a loop walking one way along the coast and the other through the fields) has some spectacular views of the coast. Especially beautiful thr last couple of bays close to Zennor. Some parts are quite steep, muddy and rocky so be mindful and bring proper hiking shoes and trousers!
Beautiful walk, just what you would expect in West Cornwall, handsome stretch of coast. Best way is to park at Zennor, only a quid, then bus to St Ives and trek along the coast Happy Guy
Not what I would class as a beach, more a rocky cove but who cares, the walk to it is very scenic with the usual spectacular vistas along the Coast Path. Can be muddy in parts so trainers not suitable.
Rocky beach.. Beautiful views. Fun to climb down to the beach and walk on it
