This Cornwall spot has 14.5 daylight hours and an average temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.
One beach fan called Kynance Cove "absolutely stunning - I mean just stunning". They provided "a few top tips for a good time", suggesting: "Get there early as parking can be a little tricky. We were here first thing and benefitted hugely from it."
Another visitor said: "Kynance Cove is a must-visit if you staying anywhere near the Lizard. The beach and surrounding scenery is simply breathtaking. Bear in mind you need to be reasonably fit and mobile to get down and back from the beach - although you can get good views of the beach from the coastal path, not too far from the car park."
