Kynance Cove Mermaid Pool

Jack, the organiser from the community, wanted to share a personal note with everyone about a special spot he thinks you'll all love: the Kynance Cove Mermaid Pool, tucked away in Helston, Cornwall. It’s a perfect place for a wild swim or a thrilling dive into the deep turquoise waters.

Jack highlights that it’s free to visit, making it a great spot for those looking to snap unique Instagram photos. However, he suggests planning your visit in advance to sidestep the crowds.

For parking, head to TR12 7PJ. But be aware, it isn't the best spot for wheelchair access. Dogs are allowed, though there might be some restrictions.

Hungry after your swim? The Kynance Cove Beach Cafe is close by and comes highly recommended by Jack for a quick bite.

The Mermaid Pool promises a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, even if getting there involves a bit of a scramble over rocks. But don’t worry, the picturesque views make it a rewarding adventure. Jack assures that proper footwear like trainers or walking boots will help on the steep, uneven path.

To get there, park at the National Trust Car Park at Kynance Cove (free for members), then follow the path to the beach and around the northern headland opposite Asparagus Island. Remember, the pool is only accessible during low tide so do check the tide times beforehand.

Jack is eager for everyone to have a great time exploring this stunning site. Whether you’re looking to swim, dive, or just soak in the scenery, the Kynance Cove Mermaid Pool will not disappoint. So, pack your swimwear and get ready for an unforgettable day in this hidden gem of Cornwall!
