Bossiney Haven is a small cove near Bossiney on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is a mile north of Tintagel.
The cove has a small sandy beach which is completely covered by the tide at high water. Access to the beach is by steep steps, a route which is not suitable for wheelchairs or push chairs.
Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round and there are toilet facilities at the top of the stairs. There is no lifeguard coverage.
An unusual part of the cliff is known as Elephant Rock. Very close is another beach at Benoath Cove[1]
At the right hand side of the cove there is a cave that is about 60 feet in height at the entrance but only 15–20 wide. It opens up into a large cavern with two more caverns which become very dark. The cave continues after this point but the floor becomes rock and very uneven. It has been said there is a waterfall in the cave . But on a recent visit there was no sign of any water fall or water running out of the cave.
