Bosahan Cove — Attraction in St. Anthony-in-Meneage

Many people will never experience this. Many people will walk by it. And according to Google reviews some people will rate this lower than its worth because it "lacks facilities".

If you are foraging for shells then there is plenty to find including crab and Lobster claws along with the much coveted sea glass. If you are after a touristy type beach this one is not for you. No ice cream seller no drink cellar, just what you can carry. The scenery is stunning and there is plenty of rocks to climb and water to swim in. The beach is on the top 10 secret coves of...

An idyllic place with fantastic views across to falmouth, Dennis the pennis castle, and at. Mawes. The walk from helford is good and not too difficult. The coast path leads Gillan bay or creek, I think. Well...
