Gunwalloe Cove is a sheltered south-west-facing cove with a sandy beach scattered with sand and pebbles, backed by low-lying dunes. The beach is situated near the village of Helston and is approximately a couple of miles from Berepper. The small church of St Wynwallow, with its unusual detached bell tower, is tucked into the headland and gives the beach its alternative name.
The beach is popular for swimming, surfing, and families. A beach cafe serves snacks and ice cream during the summer months, and toilets are available. The beach is usually fairly quiet, making it a charming spot to visit.
The nearby St Winwaloe's Church, which dates back to the 12th century, adds a unique charm to the area. The nearest parking is a National Trust Car Park on the cliffs above neighbouring Dollar Cove.
Dogs are allowed on the beach all year except from July 1st to August 31st, when they are banned from the beach between 10am and 6pm. Outside of these dates and times, dogs are allowed on the beach, making it a dog-friendly location for most of the year.
Gunwalloe Cove is on The Lizard Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
