A picturesque beach with soft, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, surrounded by a rugged coastline and scenic cliff walks, offering stunning views of the English Channel.
Very nice sandy beach. You need to check the tide timing. Clen toilets, car park(paybyphone). Bear in mind that due to water coming to the cliffs and back out, there is no dry sand. You need wetproof blanket if you want to seat down. Good for surfing and waterboarding. We had fun
Loved this place, great place for kids to find dinosaur fossils, also great place to surf
Beautiful sandy beach which is lovely as the sun is going down. It is very big at low tide and plenty of space to walk along the beach for a stroll. There is a car park at the top which is national trust and then some steps down to the bottom. Beware of any cliff falls though as the car park is slowly being swallowed into the sea! The steps up and down are also not looking particularly stable as you can see in the pictures. But overall its worth a visit!
Definitely worth a visit on a trip to the IOW. The Car Park run by the National Trust, is in awful condition and the toilets are frankly, disgusting - they do say they will be undergoing refurbishment but no idea on timescale. I'd hold and go elsewhere! However, for fantastic views, a nice beach and a walk, you can't go far wrong by visiting here. Why not bring a picnic and setup to watch the Sunset from up top?
Excellent Scenic views and beach for surfing
