Sometimes called ‘Dinosaur Egg Beach’ due to the remarkable deposit of egg-like boulders on the sands, Porth Nanven lies at the western end of the picturesque Cot Valley. The rocky beach is of great geological and scientific interest due to the wave-cut platforms in the cliff and extraordinary large, ovoid stones. It is protected and managed by the National Trust.

Pretty little cove known locally for the curious smooth rocks that look rather like Dino eggs! 🦖

Another stunning example of beauty on the South West Coast Path. If you are looking for a more adrenaline filled day, you can also find Cornwall Underground Adventures here. An opportunity to explore two underground mines on this part of the coast.
