1Km from Trethewey, After passing Porthcurno turn off on the B3315 you will after half a mile reach Polgigga. On the sharp right hand bend turn left down the private road, NOT to Porthgwarra. Head down this road about three quarters of a mile and take the left bend next to the large farmhouse. Follow this a third of a mile and turn left and park discreetly near the holiday lets that are there. There is a yard around the back and plently of room to pull in. Then you have to walk down the lane as if you are heading towards the coast, not back towards the farmhouse take the first lane on your right and head down there, through or round the gate. Carry on and you will see the big house and down the slope to the left of it is the way to Nanjizal Beach over the wooden bridge. It is a really nice looking place with good waves. Also it is a spot that attracts a particularly large amount of seals.

Additional Information
Park in the holiday lets down the lane from Nanjizal Beach. Do not bother to try going down the lane as the gate is often locked shut as people keep driving down there and the farmer is not a very nice man. Or approach from the Sennen side via Trevilley, just as quick and the farmer is much nicer and usually allows surfers to park (just don't be a birder as well or you'll get the boot)

Nanjizal (Mill Bay)
By Anonymous , 03-12-2007
thrills and spills with seals and feet - a good fun wave and nice setting. however i did once have to tend with a rather playful young seal who, after about ten minutes of entertainment, thought it was funny bite to my foot. i then had to endure the 20minute walk back to my car with a bleeding foot and get it checked for infection at the A&E dept.
