Overview
A rocky beach west of Cape Cornwall, Priest's Cove is simply stunning from the moment you arrive at the National Trust car park, which overlooks the turquoise water. This beach is a favorite for saltwater swimming, fishing, and kayaking. There's even an annual swimming race that takes place by The Brisons (a gorgeous rock formation definitely worthy of photographs). Other attractions include Ballowall Barrow and a challenging 18-hole golf course. The beach itself is accessible via a slipway and has toilets, but the nearest facilities are located at St Just. A great beach for swimmers and locals, especially since it's typically uncrowded!
