Treen Cove

The beach at Treen Cove, Cornwall

Treen Cove is also known as Gurnards Head Beach as due to its location beside the headland. There is an area of sand for most of the tidal range but at high tide the beach is just rocks surrounded by high cliffs. A small path leads from the coast path onto Lean Point, and Treen Cove is the beach on the left of the point and the beach on the right is known as Rose-an-Hale Cove. The only access to either beach involves climbing down the rocks from the point. For both beaches, this is only possible when the tide is part-way out so there is also a danger of getting cut off by the incoming tide.
