Nanjizal (or Mill Bay) is a beach and cove in the civil parish of Sennen, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Situated one mile to the south-east of Land's End, Nanjizal has no direct access via road and is usually reached via the South West Coast Path from Land's End in the north, or from Porthgwarra to the south. Nanjizal is also a noted bird watching location
Nanjizal is a cove and valley facing west into the Atlantic Ocean It is bounded on the north side by the headland of Carn Boel and Trevilley Cliff and to the south is the headland of Carn Lés Boel and Higher Bosistow Cliff. Depending on tides and storms the beach can vary from sand to boulders. On the south is the 'Song of the Sea' (Zawn Pyg), an arch where the sea has worn through a tall narrow passageway. Inside the cove are large rockpools with many types of sea anemones and seaweeds. To the north is a distinctive rock close to the cliff known as the 'Diamond Horse'. There are also a number of other caves further round the beach.
The City of Cardiff was a collier in water ballast heading for her home port of Cardiff. She left Le Havre on 6 March 1912 and rounded the Lizard at midnight on 20 March in a freshening southerly gale. By dawn she was trying to round Land's End but was beaten back as far as Porthcurno. She passed close to Tol-pedn at 0900 and there were fears for her safety as the gale increased and veered WSW. By 1100, unable to make headway she anchored a mile south of Land's End and less than half a mile from Carn Lés Boel, the southern flank of Nanjizel. Her engines were kept on full ahead but she was slowly drifting towards the shore and with a sudden squall she struck rocks 150 yards out. She was brought ashore on a flooding tide. The crew, two wives and a two-year-old were carried to land on the rocket apparatus by the Sennen Life-saving Apparatus Team who had followed the ship along the shore. The skeleton can be seen at low tide.
