Description
The tide coming in at sunset in the far west of Cornwall.
Porth Nanven is Cornish for “port of the rocky valley”. It is also known as Pornanven, and colloquially as Cot Valley Beach and is a place undiscovered by most holiday makers but loved by photographers.
Cot valley is a beautiful valley dissected by a narrow stream running northwest to the coast between Land’s End and Cape Cornwall. Porth Nanven at the seaward end of Cot Valley consists of a sandy beach covered with large rounded boulders, often described as dinosaur eggs, which not only cover the beach but raise majestically up the cliff behind forming a 120,000 year old backdrop to this beautiful location.
