Hidden in a secluded spot on the Roseland Peninsula, this sand and shingle beach has some fantastic rock pools to explore during low tide. Because of the remote location and challenging access via a steep path from the cliff tops, you will find the beach to be fairly quiet, even at the busiest times of the year.

Hiking

It is a fantastic beach but access via the coast path has been permanently closed due to rock falls. You can only access the beach from the sea.
