The Beaches of South Cornwall - S11 - Kenneggy Sands

OS Explorer Map 102 LandOS Explorer Map 102 Land's End

This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.

Location: South Coast - Halfway between Praa Sands and Prussia Cove

Looking east to Kenneggy Sand


A crescent shaped beach of golden sand lying roughly halfway between Praa Sands and Prussia Cove. Kenneggy Sand lies below the disused mine of Wheal Speed just south of the A394 Helston to Penzance road and east of the Porth-en-Alls estate - a private collection of buildings devoted to the 'International Musicians Seminar'. A walk east over Hoe Point leads to the far more commercialised Sydney Cove and Praa Sands where there are all the usual amenities.
