Nanjizal Beach Reviews Summary

Accessibility & Walk

Pros:

• "The walk to reach this secluded beach is lovely."
• "Beautiful cove, which I walked to from Land's End along the South West Coast Path in about 30 mins."
• "The walk there was a bit treacherous... but it was well worth it once we got there."

• "Wow!! What a beautiful beach. Totally worth the walk if you are considering it - do it!!"

• "It can be a bit difficult as its a walking trail however destination is beautiful."

Cons:

• "Used to be super secluded and quiet, but something has obviously done the rounds on social media as now it's insanely busy."
• "Not suitable for young children IMO as cliff path is dangerous."
• "Some of the paths are right along cliff edges, steep going up/down."
• "Steep access path so not suitable for buggies, wheelchairs anyone with walking difficulties."
• "People who are disabled will have to carefully assess the travel."
• "Great walk from Lands End but, and I really have to stress this, if you are scared of heights and being close to the edge of cliffs this really isn't for you."
• "First be prepared for a walk/hike regardless which carpark you chose."

Beach Quality

Pros:

• "Absolutely stunning, crystal clear sea."
• "You can spot seals 🦭, occasional surfer, explore some caves (easier to access in low tide) and swim in beautiful water."
• "Absolutely breathtaking views."
• "This beach is magical."
• "Photos hardly do it justice. Go early before anyone’s there and have it all to yourself."
• "Crystal clear sea, golden sand and lots of areas to explore."
• "Absolutely stunning beach! Crystal clear sea and yellow sands."

Cons:

• "It's a nice place, I'm never going to diss a beach but it's a hard won visit, very rocky beach."
• "The entrance to the beach is covered in medium/large unstable rocks, so prepare for a wobbly scramble."
• "It is very rocky, with big boulders to climb over before you get to the sand, so isn't suitable for buggies, trollies or any other wheels."
• "Too rocky to be a fun family beach."
• "It's not really a beach because it is mainly made of rocks and pebbles however the place is stunning with crystal clear waters."
• "Sometimes it is a flat sandy beach and other years the sand is washed away and you are left with a very bouldery beach with only a small strip of sand left at the head of the beach."
• "The beach itself is tiny and fills up quick."

Environment & Cleanliness

Pros:

• "Home to the Song of the Sea, a tall, narrow natural arch that winks at the golden sand, Nanjizal is thought by many to be the finest beach on the Penwith peninsula, in Cornwall's far west."
• "Caves and anenome-studded rockpools emerge when the sea retreats, and there's even a freshwater waterfall, which is ideal for washing off all that post-swim salt."
• "Really beautiful little bay with a number of interesting caves to explore."
• "Marvellous tide dependent beach equipped with a beautiful arch, moss and see weed covered stones and a huge cave."
• "A secluded beach with a cave and sea arch, this remote beach is a stunning stop off as you walk the Southwest Coast Path."
• "Crystal clear water and really pretty, the best views are once you're in the water."
• "Beautiful little rocky cove with a lovely cave pool for paddling or bathing."

Cons:

• "I'm not wishing to sound grumpy.... please, take your rubbish home. There are no bins on site."
• "Its a Cove like many others in Cornwall, nothing special. It's being ruined now by the hoardes of visitors."
• "It's such a pity that the quiet and stunning ambiance has been ruined by advertising this place. Too many people come to visit so there is nowhere to sit and meditate."
• "There was a lot of seaweed when looking through the song of the seacave, slightly lessening the beauty."
• "Unfortunately was very windy maybe that took the glamour out of the equation."
• "Nice little cove beach hidden away, unfortunately a real tourist trap."
• "Don't listen to anyone who says, it's not far !. It is a long walk whichever way you come to it."
