"The lower the score, the more secluded and remote the beach is." Due to its remote and largely inaccessible location, Nanjizal Beach remains one of the UK's most untouched beaches, reports . However, with the rise of Instagram, it's slowly gaining popularity among those keen to capture a unique photo.

Most of the time, the beach is usually only frequented by walkers on the coastal path. One of the intriguing features of this beach, however, is the colour of its water.

Cornwall Beaches describes the ever-changing nature of a local beach: "Situated at the end of a short, shallow valley, the beach changes from year to year.

"Sometimes the beach is a pretty boulder-strewn cove, whilst at others there is plenty of golden sand stretching right across the bay. One thing is constant though - the unusually clear blue water."

The beach draws attention not just for its shifting sands but also for its intriguing caves, with the most famous being "Song of the Sea". This cave is a natural wonder, bathed in light and home to an emerald lagoon.

Visitors can gaze out at the Atlantic from the far end of the cave, while also admiring the striking rock formation known as the Diamond Horse.

For those keen on visiting Nanjazil Beach, it's crucial to prioritise safety. It's advised to check tidal schedules and aim for low tide, as the beach significantly shrinks when high tide comes in.

To get to the beach, you can follow the coastal path from Land's End, with Nanjazil lying about a mile to the south. Alternatively, park your car at Porthgwarra and enjoy a one-mile walk to this coastal gem.
