Hemmick Beach, Sandy beach in Cornwall, Great Britain
Hemmick Beach stretches along the south coast of Cornwall with granite cliffs and natural rock formations framing a sheltered section of golden sand.
The bow section of vessel Ewt 263, which split in half near Lizard Point during a 1971 towing operation, washed up between this beach and Dodman Point.
Local families and nearby Boswinger Youth Hostel visitors gather at this beach for traditional British seaside activities without commercial development or modern amenities.
The beach requires a ten-minute walk from the small parking area through fields, with visitors needing to bring their own supplies as no facilities exist on site.
The beach contains uncommon plant species including dittander and reed grass, which grows up to twelve feet high along the shoreline.
