Visit Parbean Cove

Tiny Parbean Cove, located near Helston in Cornwall, is a lesser-known but beautiful spot that offers a peaceful escape for visitors looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

You can only get to Parbean Cove on foot (or by boat) along the coastal path. It’s an excellent location for those who enjoy exploring the outdoors. The rocky shoreline is ideal for tide pooling, where you can discover various marine life during low tide. The cove is also great for walking, with scenic routes along the cliffs that provide breathtaking views of the coastline.

The surrounding cliffs offer a dramatic backdrop, and the area is known for its natural beauty, making it a perfect spot for photography and nature walks.

As with many coastal areas in Cornwall, visitors should be cautious of the tides and currents. It’s important to keep an eye on the tide times to ensure you don’t get cut off while exploring the beach or the surrounding areas. Additionally, there are no lifeguards on duty, so swimming may not be advisable.

From here, you can walk along the South West Coast Path to to Nare Point and visit the NCI Nare Point Watch Station which looks out over Falmouth bay.
