Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach

Situated close to the Lizard on Cornwall’s southern coast, Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach is a distinctive location renowned for its serene atmosphere, a 13th-century clifftop church, and its position within the Gunwalloe National Trust property. This beach, which is a part of the Gunwalloe National Trust property, provides guests with a charming mix of historical charm and beautiful scenery. The beach’s rocky outcrops and sandy shoreline combine to form a charming coastline. Swimming, canoeing, and exploring the tidal pools—which are brimming with marine life—are all made possible by the crystal-clear, blue seas.

The old St. Winwaloe Church, also referred to as the Church of the Storms, is one of the most notable aspects of Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach. This charming 13th-century church, with its stone walls and tower, blends in perfectly with the craggy coastline scenery, giving the beach a special and fascinating touch.

Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach has a small car park and public toilets. A seasonal café serves light meals and refreshments. The beach sits on the South West Coast Path, which runs along the cliffs with open views of the nearby headlands and ocean. Additional exploration opportunities are provided by the nearby Halzephron Cliffs and the quaint settlement of Gunwalloe.
