Priest’s Cove or Priest Cove is a small cove one mile (1.6 km) west of St Just, Cornwall, UK.[1] The name is from the Cornish Porth Just or Por’ Eust the port or cove of St Just. "Priest’s" is a spelling mistake on the Ordnance Survey and there is no connection with the clergy.[2] The cove and surrounding area is designated as part of the Aire Point To Carrick Du Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).[3]
Approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) out to sea are the Brisons, a pair of small islands to which an annual swim is held.
