An absolute gem of a find! Stunning location with large rock formations and plenty of rock pools at low tide. Very similar to kynance cove, but without the long, tricky walk down to the beach (I love kynance, but haven't been this year as I imagine social distancing on the final part of the walk down would be near impossible)!

There is also a surf school on the beach but you'll need to check if they're operating with current covid restrictions.

I enjoyed how raw it felt and looked, a light mist was starting to blow in as the sun was setting behind me.
Toilets were up a path that looked a little too steep and narrow for my crutches, but maybe wouldn't look so daunting if this were the first adventure of the day. Smooth, flat concrete and timber walkways were easy to navigate on crutches and by wheelchair, and would be easy with...
