Back in February of 2019 I dragged Scott down to Kynance Cove for our anniversary. Neither of us had ever been before, and after seeing everyone’s wonderful photos on Instagram and Facebook I desperately wanted to visit. Unfortunately the weather was terrible, but we persisted and still had a great day. 

Kynance

This is a very pebbly beach as it remains sheltered and low tides reveal smooth white sand and access to little caves.

I’ve since been back to Kynance with one of my wonderful colleagues, and was able to enjoy this beautiful cove in some sunlight.

The walk from Swanpool to Maenporth is a lovely little one, even on a cloudy day like this. One gloomy day in early 2019 Scottie and I took a walk along the coast path between the beaches. 

The path starts just on the right side of the beach, rising up to give wonderful views all the way up the coast to Swanpool, Gylly, Pendennis Castle and over onto St Mawes.

Swanpool

There are a whole bunch of little beaches scattered along the coastline, some harder to reach than others.

Soon the path comes to Sunny Cove and Newporth Head.

Swanpool

One of the small headlands is named Pennance or Stack Point. This once held a stack for Swanpool Mine, although this is long gone. On the waters edge are the remains of the entrance to an old sewage outlet on Pennance Point.

The walk ends at Maenporth beach, a wonderfully sheltered cove perfect for swimming and kayaking – there’s even a shipwreck just off the coast here.
