Bream Cove

Once your feet hit the sand, the cove tends to take over. The water runs clear over pale sand, the cliffs curving round on either side to make it feel quietly apart from the rest of the world. Swim out, snorkel along the shoreline, or simply find a spot and stay a while. The Bream Box is close by when you need it, cold drinks, a little something to eat and the hammocks strung through the gardens above are there for the slower moments.

When you're ready to move, the coastal path continues around the Rosemullion headland towards the Helford River, through ancient woodland and past fishing villages that haven't changed much in decades.
