Access

In the summer the headland National Trust field parking is open (11am ish-dusk). Park here and walk down the steps to the sandy cove. This parking area might be moved to a new field location due to erosion of the road (update spring 2024).

Description

No lifeguards on this beach. Avoid swimming here is there are large waves at Gwithian/Godrevy. The cove will be sheltered but there is a very strong currents next to the rocks. On a flat day (no surfers at Gwithian or Godrevy beaches) this is a very nice spot for a dip and often with seals. Seal Cove (Mutton Cove) is around the headland so almost always seals are at Top Cove.
