Nanzi Zalbay Beach, a hidden gem in the Centre Van, Cornwall, is also known as Milbay, but it has stoked Tiktok into the storm and won the adoration of “British best beaches” from visitors. Celebrated with its untouched natural charm and crystallized waters, the beach features spectacular and scenic cliff strolls from the edge of the land.
The viral Tiktok video featuring the beach has over 290,000 views and 27,000 likes. Tiktok captioned the video: “POV, you found the best beach in the UK.” One commenter wrote: “Not in the UK, certainly?” Another said that every time they went to the beach they felt they were “overseas.”
Not only is Nanzi Zars respected for its incredible blue waters, it also has two natural pools, a hot spot for swimming enthusiasts, a “song of the sea” cave that includes a large, small muzan.
The remote location, depicting its name from Cornish moniker “Porsunancesell,” translated into “Cove of Howling Valley,” is a haven for birdwatchers, not just tourists, but also for its designation as a place of special scientific interest.
In addition to its unique charm, the beach is home to the iconic “diamond horse” rock formation, known locally as Zawn Pyg.
TripAdvisor users praise the beach's “beautiful turquoise water and white sand” and praise the “clear pool splashes.”
This journey to the coastal gems was said to be “glory” and had a stunning panorama that allowed visitors to absorb the “peace and tranquility” of the untouched coastline.
Due to quarantine, the beach operates without a lifeguard and encourages swimmers to take caution due to changes in tides and conditions.
Dog owners are drawn to the spot as their furry friends are allowed to roam freely throughout the year.
