Covean Beach (Cove Vean )

Covean  Beach - Isles of Scilly
© Oliver Dixon and licensed for reuse under this Licence

This magical little cove is tucked away just around the corner from The Bar and St Agnes’ little harbour.

The beach is the white sand you come to expect on the Scillies which soon gives way to a boulder-strewn sea bed making it perfect for snorkelling - and rockpooling when the tide is out.

At the back of the beach are shrubs and trees giving this an almost desert island feel - which it almost is.
