www.flindtphotography.com Porth Nanven is probably one of Cornwall’s most enchanting but least accessible locations. Perhaps it’s because the National Trust, the owners of this precious and geologically unique piece of coastline, would prefer that the numbers of visitors were kept to a minimum. Whatever the reason, don’t be surprised if you find yourself embarking on a circuitous route around the back streets of St Just as you make your way down to this remarkable place. Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 5 seconds at f/16.

Porth Nanven (known as Cot Valley Beach) is in the far west of Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is located half-a-mile west of the village of St Just. Sometimes referred to as ‘Dinosaur Egg Beach’ because of a deposit of egg like boulders covering the beach and cove. These come in all sizes, from small egg to a metre or greater in length, and are legally protected by the National Trust, which owns the beach, to stop them being taken as souvenirs. The odd shaped boulders are the work of the sea, but not many people know that this work was done over 120,000 years ago as the rocks can be seen half buried in the cliff face behind the beach waiting to fall onto the collection once the weather wears them down. Difficult to get to, buut well worth a visit.

Porth Nanven lies at the seaward end of the Cot Valley near St Just in the far west of Cornwall. Lying between Cape Cornwall to the north and Sennen and Land’s End to the south, it may be overlooked by the casual tourist. The cove has been known by a number of names over the years including Nanvar and Penanwell so don’t be surprised if even the locals haven’t heard of it. Some of the rocks near the low water mark have the appearance of large blobs of bubblegum and one in particular is known as ‘Bubblegum Rock’. There are patches of sand at low tide and the beach is well worth a visit.
