User reviews
"I really enjoy this beach. It's a fantastic spot to relax, sunbathe, and take a swim when the sun is out. It's peaceful, beautiful, and much better than just sitting on the sand all day (in my opinion). The water is great, the people are friendly, and there's plenty of space to swim without bothering anyone. 👍"
Lark Zephyr
"The tidal pool, built in 1937 and listed as Grade ll, is a fantastic historical concept. It allows for swimming without being affected by the tide, making it one of the oldest and largest tidal pools in the UK. The water quality is excellent, which is why it attracts many swimmers year-round, including the Walpole Bay Tidal Pool Swimmers. It is also a great spot for a family..."
