Bossiney Haven, Sandy cove in North Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Description
Bossiney Haven is a sandy cove on the North Cornwall coast with rocky shorelines on either side. It extends eastward toward Benoath Cove and disappears entirely beneath the Atlantic waters when the tide comes in.
History
This cove sits near Tintagel, a location deeply connected to medieval tales of King Arthur. The coastline has been shaped by fishing and maritime activity spanning centuries.
Culture
The place connects to walking routes that locals have used for generations along these cliffs. These paths form part of how people experience and move through the coastal landscape today.
Practical
Getting to the cove means walking down steep steps from the cliff-top parking area. Plan your visit around the tide schedule, as the beach becomes inaccessible when the tide is high.
Did you know?
As the tide goes out, rocky reefs covered in kelp appear on both sides of the cove, creating spaces to explore marine life. These underwater formations offer a chance to see creatures in their natural habitats.
