Welcome to Prussia Cove

Prussia Cove is a small cove located on the south coast of Cornwall, England. It is a secluded and picturesque spot that is steeped in history and legend. The cove is named after the notorious smuggler, John Carter, who was also known as the "King of Prussia". Carter and his gang used the cove as a base for their smuggling operations in the 18th century. Today, the cove is a popular spot for swimming, fishing, and exploring the rugged coastline.

The cove is surrounded by steep cliffs and is accessible only by footpath. The path leads down to the beach, which is a mixture of sand and shingle. The water is clear and inviting, but can be quite cold even in the summer months. There are also several caves and rock pools to explore, which are popular with children and adults alike. The cove is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seals, dolphins, and seabirds.

Prussia Cove is a place of great natural beauty and historical significance. It is a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and the daring exploits of the smugglers who once operated along the coast. Today, the cove is a peaceful and tranquil spot that offers visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and connect with nature. Whether you are looking for adventure or simply a place to relax and unwind, Prussia Cove is well worth a visit.

Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
