Hemmick Beach

Hemmick Beach is a small, secluded cove close to Gorran Haven on Cornwall’s south coast, reached by a short walk from a car park and shielded from the busier tourist areas nearby. The lack of facilities and the modest access keep visitor numbers low, which is precisely its appeal. The crystal-clear, blue waters are perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming, and they offer a welcoming and secure atmosphere for both single and family visitors.

Hemmick Beach’s charm and isolation are enhanced by the fact that it may be reached by a short walk from a neighboring car park. To ensure a truly back-to-nature experience, visitors are urged to bring their own supplies, as there are no commercial establishments right on the beach.

Hikers and nature lovers will enjoy the scenic South West Coast Path, which hugs the cliffs above Hemmick Beach and provides access to various neighboring beaches and coves. The trail offers a fantastic chance to discover the surrounding area’s natural splendor. The nearby Dodman Point — Cornwall’s largest headland, with an Iron Age earthwork across its neck — is an easy walk along the coast path.
