Beagles Point is a prominent headland located in Cornwall, a county in the southwestern part of England. Situated along the stunning coastline, it is situated approximately five miles west of the popular tourist town of Newquay. This rugged and picturesque headland is a significant coastal feature known for its natural beauty and breathtaking views.

With its strategic location on the Atlantic Ocean, Beagles Point offers visitors a chance to experience the raw power and beauty of the sea. The headland juts out into the ocean, providing an unobstructed view of the crashing waves and dramatic cliffs that characterize this stretch of coastline. The point is also home to a variety of marine wildlife, including seals, dolphins, and seabirds, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Beagles Point is easily accessible, with a well-maintained footpath leading visitors to the headland. The path meanders through lush coastal vegetation, offering glimpses of wildflowers and grasses that thrive in this unique coastal environment. Once at the point, visitors can explore the rocky outcrops and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding coastline, with sandy beaches and hidden coves stretching out in both directions.

Due to its exposed location, Beagles Point can be subject to strong winds and rough seas at times. However, this only adds to its allure, making it a favorite spot for photographers and those seeking an exhilarating coastal experience. Whether it's a leisurely stroll along the footpath or an adventurous hike along the cliffs, Beagles Point offers a truly unforgettable experience for those who visit.
