"Pedn Vounder-roughly translating to 'end of the lane' from Cornish-is a hidden beach located on the rugged Penwith Peninsula in Cornwall near Porthcurno. Famous for its turquoise water, white sand, and dramatic granite cliffs, it's easy to see why it's often compared to the pristine beaches of Indonesia or the Caribbean."
"The only downside is that Pedn Vounder isn't particularly easy to get to. It's approximately a six-hour drive From London-or, for a car-less route, you can take the train from London to Penzance. From Penzance, it's a 20-minute drive or bus ride to the nearby village of Treen."
"Because the beach is tidal, much of the sand disappears at high tide, so make sure to check the tide chart carefully to ensure you're visiting at low tide."

Access is not straightforward, with about a six-hour drive from London. A car-less route can use a train from London to Penzance, followed by a 20-minute drive or bus ride to Treen.
