Priest Cove, Rocky cove near St Just, England
The cove features a granite coastline with a man-made saltwater swimming pool carved into the rocks next to Cape Cornwall Headland.
In the 1830s, the cove hosted attempts to establish a pilchard fishery with cellars construction, but the exposed location prevented success.
The annual swimming event to The Brisons, two small islands located offshore, brings together local residents and visitors.
The National Trust car park situated behind the beach provides access to the cove, with facilities including a cafe, toilets, and shop.
The location exposes Land's End Granite formations containing minerals such as quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and tourmaline pegmatites.
