Lots of people have mentioned this cove and eulogised about its beauty and they are right. As one visitor wondered aloud , ' who needs Thailand ?' The granite stack looks like limestone Karst and coupled with the azure sea reminds me of the Man With the Golden Gun's hideaway which is near Phuket. The images are at low tide so will have to return as the diving is incredible. I saw spider crabs and some fair sized fish, lots of different ones that I wanted to shoot and eat. Next time they will not be as lucky ! Snorkelling alone I was wary of the currents but it seemed quite safe. The rocks create lagoons and pools to explore. A competitive Dad was showing his son, Samson, how the jellyfish did not sting in one translucent diving pool until they stung him quite badly. He claimed that Loggerhead turtles out at sea were eating the jellyfish as there were some chopped in half.
The Cove can be reached from a National Trust car park on the top of the cliff or by walking along the coast path from Mullion or the Lizard. The sky always seems to clear on this southerly peninsula making for stunning colours in the sea and blue skies.
