Good access but the road down and back up is very steep and single track so be aware of oncoming traffic. Free car park and well maintained toilets. Short walk from the car park and easy access to the water. Was choppy and windy but great for a swimble dip or if you were training for a longer sea swim. No dogs allowed on the beach. Very few people there when I went at around 2.30pm.

Went on a very windy day, and it was still great for swimming. A little choppy, but not bad

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Water Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
