Epphaven Cove - circular walks

Epphaven Cove

The beach at Epphaven Cove, Cornwall

Epphaven Cove is submerged at high tide, and is rocky until the lowest part of the tide when a sandy beach is revealed. Access involves climbing down the rock platform and negotiating the boulders at the top of the beach. At low tide, the beach merges with the adjacent beaches to form a continuous strip of sand around Lundy Bay.

Epphaven Cove can only be reached on foot.
