Hemmick Beach

Description

Hemmick Beach, a hidden gem noted for its pristine natural beauty and serene ambiance, is situated close to the settlement of Gorran Haven on Cornwall’s south coast. This beach, which is tucked away from the busier tourist areas, provides a peaceful haven for those who want to take in the calm coastal scenery. 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 historic Dodman Point, a well-known headland with stunning vistas and archaeological significance, is one of the nearby attractions.
