The hidden beach where you can swim in sea caves and see seals in clear water

CornishSecrets recommends staying at the beach until late afternoon for a stunning view of the sun shining through the arch.

While swimming in the sea is not recommended while visiting Nanjizal, with its remote location meaning there are no lifeguards nearby, there are two pools in the cave below the arch.

These are called the Big and Little Muzzan and are a great place to swim when the sea is calm. Although, Cornwall Beaches warns that the far end of the cave is sometimes affected by Atlantic swells, which can sometimes be very strong.

If cave swimming isn’t quite your thing, there’s plenty of wildlife to spot at Nanjizal. Birds including Chiffchaffs, Whitethroat and Blackcap are known to breed in the area.

Seals can often be spotted in the sea and there are plenty of rock pools where you can spot all sorts of different sea creatures.

And unlike some of the big tourist beaches, Nanjizal is dog friendly, meaning the whole family and your precious canine can all enjoy this hidden gem.
