Amazingly long beach that stretching to the sea

The beach is a long "cove" that is relatively secluded and when the tide is out is an enormous area of sand with rocky outcrops to shelter in. Judging by the swimmers even when the tide is in the water is reasonably shallow - though...More

Windy but great

Fabulous views and a lovely walk along the cliffs. Worth a visit! Good to sit and have a drink at the mermaid inn and catch the sights.

Are you allowed to have a small fire on the beach in the evening/night?

AnswerShow all 3 answers

Yes my friends often have a small fire or a bbq on the beach once most people have gone home and not had a problem. Just be aware to remove any remains of the burnt material upon leaving and everyone should be happy. Enjoy!
