Dist:0.1km<br/>A wonderfully secluded beach. When the weather is fine this is a great place to be, and to stay being. But it faces due west, so when those Atlantic storms roll in it is probably not so pleasant.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is just a bit down the coast from Lands End. Can be reached by a foot path from the South West Coast Path-- very beautiful and secluded

Dist:0.2km<br/>At the southern end of the beach at Nanjizal is this narrow natural arch. It is named 'Zawn Pyg' on the OS map ('zawn' meaning chasm), and it is also known locally as the 'Song of the Sea'.

Dist:0.2km<br/>That is the name of this cove, adjacent to Mill Bay or Nanjizal beach, where the sea has cut through the rock to form a narrow passage. Someone who has been there writes on Wikipedia "Inside the cove are large rockpools with many types of sea anemones and seaweeds, although the rocks are very slippery and the cove dark and damp. Several of the rocks appear to be covered with a purple substance."

Dist:0.2km<br/>At Nanjizal beach. The huge slit forms a natural arch through the headland on the southwest side of the beach. See [[525997]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>Viewed from Carn Boel, close to low tide: the sandy beach at Nanjizal is revealed. To the left and right we have Lower Bosistow Cliff and Higher Bosistow Cliff, respectively. The inaccessibility of this beach means that it is only lightly populated on a sunny August afternoon (that, and the fact that it had been raining all morning).

Dist:0.2km<br/>Headed towards Lands End on the coastal path, facing into the setting summer sun. Here the path turns to the right, following the top of the granite cliff.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The sand here is exposed by the ebbing tide and it has been pockmarked by the feet of the various visitors since the last high tide. The low angle of the sun emphasises the hundreds of tiny depressions. The sloping cliff beyond is Higher Bosistow Cliff, and the slot-like natural arch is known as Zawn Pyg.

Dist:0.2km<br/>These rocks are at the western end of the beach below Lower Bosistow Cliff, in Mill Bay. There are numerous caves and chasms in the cliffs around the bay.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A view of the beach at the head of the bay from Trevilley Cliff. The entrance to [[1405961]] can be seen cutting into the headland beyond. The next headland on the right is [[933200]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>An exquisite beach, often deserted even at the height of the season. Carn Boel is the distant headland.
