Only really swimmable at high (ish) tide. Current can be strong so helpful to go swim with someone familiar with the location. Often calm here when nearby places are too rough to swim.
Location
Getting there
Street parking nearby (free 2hrs) but a lot of residents only parking so look carefully at signs.
Accessibility
A couple of steps to go down to get into the water but these can be quite slippery, and some submerged.

Before you go
- Check tide times before entering. Incoming tides can cut off escape routes.
- Watch for rip currents, especially near groynes and headlands
- Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
- Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
- A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Frequently asked questions
Is this beach safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.
When is the best time to swim here?
Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
