Description
Lovely beach. Mixture of pebbles and sand nestled underneath ravenscraig castle. Best at high tide as at low tide you'll have to walk for quite a bit to get anything good enough to swim in. Good parking, go in at the second entrance and keep to the right. Can get quite rocky the closer to the castle you are but sandy further right. Recommend wetsuit boots rather than socks for grip. Quite impressive with the castle above you. Good for sunrise swims, tide dependent though
Getting There
The beach is directly Infront of the 3 high-rise flats. Keeping the flats to your right you pass a car park on your right,go passed about 10ft there's a turning to your left (can be easily missed) Follow the road right down. Park at the beginning you'll see where you've to park as you drive down.
Accessibility
Can be quite stoney. Coastal erosion has removed a lot of the wooden pathways down but still easy enough. Just take your time getting in and out. If going at high tide can be out your depth in 10 ft. Really enjoyable swim

Quite a lot of debris in the sea and on thr beach.Car Park area can be a bit messy with dog foul. Stony beach. On a good flat day it's lovely but I worry about fallen trees etc in the sea so it's not my 1st choice.
