General Pednevounder and Treen are two adjacent coves near Porthcurno, on the farthest southern tip of Cornwall. 
Getting There From Penzance, take the B3315 to the village of Treen. Walk south across the fields to meet the coast path and then down to the coves below. The cliff descent directly to Pednevounder (the more westerly of the coves) is very steep and is "not recommended" - access can be gained from Treen Cove, but take note of the state of the tide before doing so. Description "Extremely blue water, white sand and granite cliffs. Its a good walk from the car park at Treen village... The cliff climb at the very end of the walk looks terrifying but is a lot easy than it looks. Grannies, people with kids and dogs all manage to get down. The mix of textile and nude is probably about 50/50." 
Facilities Water Quality Trip Report " At low tide there is a large amount of sand, shallow water then a sand bar (at least there was last time I was there.) It is possible to walk 500M to Logan Rock. Wonderful. As the tide comes in it gradually disappears with the naturists getting packed in to a small space. Eventually the exit route is cut off. Last time we waded through thigh deep water to get out. A few brave people take to the rocks and wait for the sand to reappear again." Images on this page courtesy Luis Cortes. Comments (6)

Just got back from Cornwall and this beach is one we visited, it took us about 45 minutes to walk from the Treen car park down to the beach.
At first it seemed like a 50/50 split but as more and more people arrived it was more like a 75/25, still happy co existence and no problem. Water quality is very good, crystal clear and a joy to swim in. The climb up the cliff it's not as easy, very steep and very high, one needs to be fit to climb it with no problem. written by craig littler, November 02, 2007

When tide is in you cannot get on or off the beach, so plan for that. Used year round, very sheltered sandy coves to sit in. There is a path down to the beach, but about a 5m climb down a very steep rock surface at the bottom, so you would have to carry a small child. Amount of sand in the bay varies from year to year.

This beach is definitely worth a visit - excellent beach, crystal clear water and a good split of nude and clothed bathers. As other people have said the descent to the beach can be tricky - especially the last 15 foot. We would recommend that you wear some sensible shoes or trainers if you're planning a visit - other wise you might just come a cropper!! But as we've said, it is definitely worth a visit - 10/10
written by paul, August 11, 2008 Loved this beach, So idyllic and the most amicable bunch of people ever. They all know each other and some have been visiting for 30 years. Being a single male you can sometimes be stereotyped as gay or just a "lech" but I encountered like minded people enjoying the crystal clear water and the soft sand.....HEAVEN! Hope to meet new freinds there over the Summer. Write comment
