Take the A394 from Penzance (A30) and head towards Helston. When you get to Rosudgeon take a right towards 'Prussia Cove' (sign posted). It's opposite 'packet lane' I think. Follow the road until you get to a big house on the left, just before a car park. Turn left where the sign says 'PRIVATE ROAD'. Follow this rough track until you cannot get any further, it's about 3 quarters of a mile through a big houses grounds and then through a ford (small stream across the road). You'll reach a car park that holds about 12 cars maximum. You'll see the beach and surf on your right.
It is far more sheltered than Praa Sands or Perran Sands, but needs more swell to work. Works best at low tide with a big swell to give fast, snappy waves. Anything over 4ft tends to close out. There's a slightly bigger wave on the south side of the cove. This is very unknown to all but locals and there's hardly ever anyone out there.
surfed this place the other day it was about head high and well good fun, many waves did close out but if ya pick the right one its was awsome but praa was firing well over head and looked like death, so i guess this was a lucky one.

Love machine is right
Hairy local, are you some sort of mongoloid?!a) You ARE talking about Keneggy sands.b) Why go mouthing off about places that work so rarely it's not worth the bother. Have you not got anything better to do?c) You fail to mention the grief you will get for driving down this road
