Kynance Cove in Cornwall is known for its white sand shores, sheltered cove and crystal-clear waters – and it was recently named one of the best UK beaches to visit in spring

Brits looking to explore one of the UK’s most stunning beaches should take advantage of the spring season (once the weather perks up, naturally).

Kynance Cove in Cornwall, with its breathtaking white sand shores, secluded bay and crystal-clear waters, never fails to impress visitors. According to a recent study by Parkdean Resorts, spring is an ideal time to visit.

The holiday park behemoth ranked several popular British beaches based on factors like regional rainfall and average water temperatures, with Kynance Cove coming out on top. An added bonus is that you’ll dodge the peak summer crowds that descend on Kynance when the summer weather arrives and Britain basks in warm, sunny days.

This beautiful cove is well-known among locals and tourists alike, but it’s certainly worth adding to your list if you’re considering a staycation this spring.

The 200m-long beach not only boasts stunning sands and waters, but also features impressive rock formations with quirky names such as Asparagus Island, The Drawing Room and The Parlour.

Although the beach is somewhat remote, it can be easily accessed via numerous trails in the area, and is situated on the South West Coast Path, roughly 2.5 miles walk from Lizard Point. On Tripadvisor, many satisfied holidaymakers have encouraged others to make the journey, as it offers some truly spectacular views of the Cornish coas.

One visitor gushed about their day out saying: “We spent the entire day here back in May and pictures really don’t do the place justice. The water is absolutely stunning, and looks as though you’re abroad in a sunnier place than England.

“The views from up by the cafe are also amazing, my only word of advice would be to wear proper footwear as you have to climb over rocks to get to the water itself and it’s quite a trek.”.

Another was equally impressed, sharing: “We visited both of these on a sunny day and the views of Lizard [were] spectacular,” and continued praising: “Saw the resident seal, I was blown away if so much going on and seeing so far. Kynance Cove was breathtaking with a great view when you creep around the corner to see a magnificent view – wasn’t disappointed at all. If you like theses sort of places worth a visit.”

If a lovely walk leaves you peckish, there’s a cosy cafe on hand to refuel. Plus, for those less keen on walking, Kynance Cove offers up handy facilities including a car park courtesy of the National Trust – perfect for a brief stop or as part of a larger tour.

Dog lovers take note, springtime beckons four-legged visitors as they’re allowed on the beach from September until June before a summertime dog ban kicks in from 1 July – 31 August between 10am and 6pm. However, pups are given free rein on the surrounding pathways year-round.

However, if you’re keen on taking a dip, heed the National Trust’s warnings about the absence of lifeguards and strong currents. It’s also worth noting that the incoming tide can cut you off, so stay vigilant when you head down.
