Cullykhan Beach — Attraction in Great Britain

A fabulous little beach with lots of interesting things (mostly caves) to explore. At low tide you walk around the base of the cliffs and try a bit of fishing for pollack. Watch you don’t get cut off by the incoming tide. On the left side looking out to see sea, there’s a low tide only cave you can access, which takes you to the next bay. Parking is obvious and so is the way down to the beach. The only downside for me is that, due to its compactness, the beach can become “crowded” with just a few people, and some seem to treat it like it’s their own private beach, without consideration for other beach users. Loud music, out of control fires, discarded packaging. Always just a few bad apples that make it unpleasant for everyone else. Anyway, don’t let that put you off as the chances are, if you come during the week and before the summer holidays, you’ll probably have the place to yourself. Very peaceful...

A gorgeous day today and very few people here! The carpark can hold probably about a dozen cars, no payment required. You can walk straight down to the beach but if you take the path heading upwards on the left you'll pass Hells Lum, a collapsed sea cave and if you carry on following the path over the boulder remains of Fort Fiddes, you'll come to a stoney beach. If you hop over the 'river' to the other side you can enter Hells Lum but please only do so when the weather has been dry for a week as the path is on the cliffside and can be muddy, slippy and treacherous! If you drive further down the road and turn into the Mill you can park at Cullykhan Bay where there are picnic tables but that beach is...

Beautiful scenery plenty of history. Unfortunately, people are not keeping the beach clean. I went for a swim and I managed to take plastic and even bottles of glass from the water! Came home with a big bag of rubish while families were having parties with loud music and young kid were arriving with lot of things to spend the nigth there. I would say the majority of the people were locals. I really hope that area survives the summer because it is...
