Kynance Cove Mermaid Pool

Kynance Cove Mermaid Pool is a natural tidal pool tucked within the rocky cliffs of Kynance Cove on Cornwall’s the Lizard. Formed by centuries of wave erosion and filled with crystal-clear turquoise water at low tide, the pool offers a magical, sheltered swimming experience just steps away from the dramatic Atlantic surf. Accessible via a short scramble around the north end of the beach during calm, low-tide conditions, it’s beloved by wild swimmers and nature lovers alike for its serene atmosphere, striking serpentine rock formations, and postcard-worthy views. This enchanting spot feels like a secret escape - perfect for a peaceful dip in one of the UK’s most iconic coastal settings.
