Ah, behold the stunning expanse of sandy shores! Alas, it seems that Mother Nature has had her way with the pathway leading to this paradise, rendering it a tad inaccessible at the moment. Fear not, for the beach itself remains as breathtaking as ever. Just be prepared to navigate a slightly more rugged terrain to get there.

The path leading to the beach is quite challenging and unstable due to the erosion of the steps. As per the National Trust's recommendation, it is best to avoid going down for your own safety.

The beach can only be accessed via boat as the coast path is currently unavailable due to erosion of the cliff.

Although it's a beautiful beach, it's not recommended to access it due to the deteriorating path. It's unfortunate that it's not being maintained, as it's a peaceful spot for locals during the bustling season.

The beach was fantastic, with pristine waters that were crystal clear. We reached it by using our gig boats, and the weather only added to the experience. However, getting to the beach from the land seemed like it could be a bit challenging.
