Description

Great spot to swim at high tide, has steps directly into the water (or beach when water is low), benches to get changed at and a life bouy by the edge. Next to the yacht club so watch out when they launch. On a spring tide water can be deep quickly. There is a walled kids pool next to the spot.

Getting There

Can be accessed via the tow path from Leigh or Chalkwell or walk directly over Gypsy Bridge and is at the bottom.

Accessibility

Narrow steps leading directly into the water from the tow path
