Beautiful hidden bay. Well worth a visit. Amazing cafe too. Best coffee of the week!

A lovely small beach split in two sides. One with more sand and an easier way to get in to the see and the other with more rock and therefore rock pools and places to explore. It has a steep approach from the car park and a lovely tea room (which closes at 16.30 sharp) on the way down.

I love this place. It's a steep climb back up from the beach so not for the faint of heart but its definitely worth it. The water is always a little warmer here and it's very secluded so often get the beach to yourself. But beware of the tide as if you're on the beach you will get trapped when it starts coming in. No wonder Renoir was such a fan!

New tea rooms. Great new decor and garden booths. Charming service, great tea and cake.
