I love the legend of king Arthur and Merlin. This was a great day. Picked the perfect time to go as the tide was out and we were able to go inside the cave. Not easy to access so take care.Full review by natchanning

I'm not 100% sure but i think the only acces to the cave and the cove beach is through the castle which you have to pay for to visit. This is how we got to it by following the route around the castle and down to Merlin's cave. There is a carpark on main street just up from the castle i believe it was £3 for the day.

Q:
What’s the best site to check when low tide is?
A:
Merlons Cave is good cause you can go to the edge of the cave, you wouldn’t be able to do it if the tide was in. Plus Saint Merryn beach is beautiful

Q:
Can I get down to the beach to see merlin cave
A:
This wasn’t possible in early March, partly due to all the building work but may be possible now. When the tide is out you can get a good view of the cave, the beach being just a small bay. …
