United Kingdom Porth Nanven
It is located half-a-mile west of the town of St Just at the end of a narrow lane.
Porth Nanven has sometimes been referred to as 'Dinosaur Egg Beach' in the media because of a remarkable deposit of ovoid boulders covering the beach and foreshore. These boulders come in all sizes, from hen's egg to a metre or more in length, and are now legally protected by the National Trust which owns the beach.
