If you are brave enough to descend to that spot, you are truly a daring individual. However, I would advise against attempting it alone.

As you stroll along the path connecting Watergate and Mawgan Porth, you'll come across a beautiful beach that's unfortunately not easily accessible. However, there are plenty of great spots to take a seat and soak up the stunning views that surround you.

The picturesque coastal trail is a delightful stroll that can be conveniently reached via the footpath located at the hill's peak from the primary road. Despite Google Maps labeling it as Public Baths, it is, in fact, an idyllic cove that lacks beach access.

Oh, how delightful it is to take a stroll along the stunning coastline. But wait, what's this? You can't actually get to the cove using the path? Well, isn't that just fantastic. Looks like you'll need to fork out some cash for a boat ride if you want to explore that particular spot. How convenient.
