beautiful bay nestled at the bottom of cliffs on the East Coast. Fabulous swim at high-tide off the steps with caves to explore or at low tide from the beach
Location
Getting there
A 10 minute cliff walk from the nearest access point. There is a car park at the top opposite Doyle Monument along Jerbourg Road or use the number 81 bus service
Accessibility
There is a 10 minute cliff walk from the nearest car park and approximately 50 concrete steps down to the pebbly top of the beach. At high tide you will often be able to swim from the steps, otherwise it’s access from the pebbly beach which becomes sandy at lower tides

- 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

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.

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.
