At low tide, a sheltered sandy beach, but beware, it is only accessible for an hour or two either side of low water and there is a risk of being cut off.

Almost 2 miles of sand at low tide, with an abundance of rock pools. Plenty of beach for a couple of hours either side of low tide, but very little by the time tide is full. Interesting geological features.

Easily accessible beach at all tides, with some sand and plenty of rock pools. Often sheltered, there is a grassy picnic spot just above the beach, lime kilns, a small church and a pumping house to explore.
Accessibility: *****
The car park is adjacent to the beach, there is a good path to the picnic spot which has a full view of the beach, and there are various paths onto the beach which either slope gently or involve a few steps.
Distance on foot: 2 miles
Distance by car: 3.5 miles
