Buzza Rock is a small island located off the coast of Cornwall, England. It is situated in the Celtic Sea, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the town of St Ives. The island is known for its rugged and picturesque landscape, with towering cliffs and rocky shores.

Covering an area of about 6 acres, Buzza Rock is uninhabited and is a haven for various species of seabirds, including puffins, razorbills, and gulls. The island also serves as an important breeding ground for these birds, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

Access to Buzza Rock can be challenging due to its remote location and treacherous waters. However, during low tide, it is possible to reach the island by foot from the neighboring Porthgwidden Beach. Visitors are advised to check the tide times and be cautious of the changing sea conditions.

The island offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline, making it an ideal spot for photographers and artists. Its dramatic cliffs attract climbers and adrenaline seekers who enjoy scaling the rugged rock faces.

Buzza Rock is part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a designation that recognizes and protects its exceptional landscape and wildlife. The island's isolation and natural beauty make it a peaceful and serene destination for those seeking a tranquil escape from the mainland.
