Kynance Cove is an ephemeral, sandy beach, surrounded by rugged Cornish headlands, that only appears when the tide goes out.

The beach, managed by the National Trust, is located on The Lizard, a spit of land off the coast of Cornwall that is the most southerly point of the United Kingdom. The beach rims Kynance Bay, characterized by turquoise waters and small, colorful islets. The National Trust maintains 18 vacation rental cottages in the area.
