Clamouring over stones from either side is the only land route in. I came from the footpath side and had the beach to myself. The cove was sheltered and the sea a gradual shelf, so a cold but relatively safe swim spot. Do as I did and pick up some litter, there wasn't a lot, but because it is remote it is what has washed up, I found a plastic bottle with Chinese writing on it amongst other places.
