Beacon Hut is a historic structure located on the cliffs overlooking Whitsand Bay in Cornwall, England. Built in the late 19th century, the hut served as a lookout point for the local coastguards who would keep watch for ships in distress and provide assistance when needed. The hut is constructed of stone and has a simple, rectangular shape with a pitched roof.

The Beacon Hut is a Grade II listed building and is considered a significant heritage site in Cornwall. It stands as a reminder of the important role that coastguards played in ensuring the safety of ships and sailors along this rugged coastline. The hut offers stunning views of the surrounding cliffs and sea, making it a popular spot for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Today, the Beacon Hut is no longer used by coastguards but remains a symbol of Cornwall's maritime history. It is a popular destination for hikers and sightseers exploring the South West Coast Path, offering a glimpse into the past and a chance to appreciate the stunning coastal scenery of this region.
