Swim with seals and shags at a dramatic but demanding location in post-industrial Cornwall. Follow signs for Cot Valley from the Cape Cornwall Rd in St Just in Penwith to the free parking. Unless it’s flat calm and you don’t mind swimming over boulders, wait until low tide +/- 1 hr when the sand is visible.
Lands End side has dangerous rusted metal embedded – avoid. Find the sandy bottom, past the submerged rocks and swim peacefully there.
Extreme caution getting past the rocks if there’s weed or surf obscuring your view
