Tidal creek, safe entry and exit from the little beach. Swim across and back about 500m. Sheltered except in an easterly. Water usually clear and lovely. High tide or 2 hours either side for swimming. A float is useful as a few holidaymakers using little boats, you need to be visible. Lots of wildlife to see if you swimble quietly up the creek or around the edges.
Location
Getting there
Car park open in the Holiday season, spaces sometimes on the lane but tuck in as it's narrow. Narrow lane down, be prepared to reverse.
Accessibility
Easy to get in and out, I managed on crutches 3 weeks after a total knee replacement. Safe for kids paddling. A bit stony so swim shoes are useful.

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

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.

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.
