The walk reaches the coast at the Loe Bar which is a deceptively dangerous beach with occasional large freak waves and shingle which caves in underfoot when waves dump onto it. It is said to claim one soul every seven years.
The memorial beside the coast path is to the HMS Anson which grounded on the reef which is a few metres out from the beach. Despite the proximity to the shore, many of those aboard drowned in the breakers. The local residents were so moved by this that one man spent much of his live and personal savings developing rocket life-saving apparatus, whilst the local MP campaigned to change the law so that those drowned at sea received a Christian burial.
The route continues along the Gunwalloe Coves, which feature in the BBC's new Poldark series. The fish cellars at Fishing Cove have been renovated for use as a filming location, and on the other side of Halzephron cliff are Dollar and Church Coves. Dollar Cove gets its name from the Spanish treasure ship carrying a vast number of silver dollar coins which sank here. Various schemes have been hatched to recover the coins, none of which have been successful. One or two coins have occasionally washed up on the beach, but other sea-borne objects are more common:
The return route is via the Halzephron Inn which still has a hidden passage connecting to a network of underground tunnels, which was thought to connect to a nearby monastery as well as being used by smugglers.
The walk is also now available as a guided walk app for Android and in the iWalk app for iPhone.
