St Loy's Cove, Secluded cove in Cornwall, England
St Loy's Cove features a wooded valley leading to a beach covered with rounded granite boulders, forming a natural barrier between the sea and land.
The beach contains geological formations from past climate conditions similar to modern-day Greenland, with orange-brown cliffs shaped by soil movement processes.
The South West Coast Path traverses through the cove, connecting it to a network of walking trails that showcase Cornwall's coastal heritage.
Visitors can find limited parking spaces along the road at the valley entrance or use paid parking facilities at a nearby farm.
The cove maintains higher temperatures compared to other UK coastal locations, supporting diverse plant species including tree ferns, palms, and camellias.
