Prussia Cove

Prussia Cove is a collection of small rocky inlets named after smuggler John Carter, who called himself 'the King of Prussia'. Access to the coves is over private land with a footpath, and the swimming is lovely on calm days. The coast path along here is among the nicest between Marazion and Porthleven.
