Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Reached only on foot, Nanjizal is a remote cove south of Land’s End — figure on a mile or so each way from Porthgwarra or the headland itself. Its best-known feature is the Song of the Sea, a tall slot arch worn through the cliff that frames the water at low tide. There’s no road down and nothing at the beach, which keeps it quiet.
