What a lovely spot for a swim. We managed just to pull in off the road and the it was just a short stroll to beach access on the far side. Obviously there is a sailing club operating from there but nothing out on the water when I was there. Scenery is stunning and the water was glorious.

I had a beautiful swim here today (10.8.22) with a group of other local wild swimmers. The water was warm (22°) and we were in over an hour, just doing gentle breast stroke and chatting. We met several other swimmers there - maybe 20 people in all, on a random Wednesday afternoon! There was plenty of space for everyone though :)
