Tintagel and the Island

Tintagel Beaches

Tintagel, best known for its castle and its association with King Arthur, has two small beaches.

Tintagel Haven beach, also known as Merlin's Cove, is just below the castle. It is a small sand and pebble beach. Swimming is possible on a rising tide in good weather conditions. Access is not easy and the beach disappears at high tide. Of interest is the waterfall cascading onto the north east of the beach and Merlin's Cave. There are rock pools at low water and several good places for fishing from the rocks. Under the right conditions, the cove is good for snorkelling.

The cave gives access to another small, rocky beach on the other side of the headland known as Westside Cove. This beach is not safe for swimming due to strong currents.

Both beaches are dog friendly with dogs allowed all year round.

There is safety equipment at Tintagel Haven.
