Holywell Beach, Sandy beach in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The wide beach extends for one mile along the Cornwall coast, featuring extensive sand dunes and twin rocks emerging from the water.
The beach contains an Iron Age cliff castle in the Kelseys area, showing evidence of ancient settlements along the Cornish coastline.
The location served as a filming site for the television series House of the Dragon, representing the fictional beach at Driftmark.
The beach includes parking facilities with different rate options, and National Trust members receive free parking with their membership cards.
A natural cave containing a holy well with mineral formations becomes accessible during low tide at the northern section of the beach.
