Prisk Cove - circular walks

Prisk Cove

The beach at Prisk Cove, Cornwall

Prisk Cove lies just outside the mouth of the Helford River. There is a shingle beach at all states of the tide. As the tide goes out, larger pebbles and areas of rock are revealed. At low tide, part of a reef is uncovered that runs along the side of Rosemullion Head. The sheltered corner between the beach and headland allows a diverse range of seaweeds to thrive and these provide food and shelter for other marine life.

Located on the south side of Rosemullion Head. A small path leads down from the coast path.
