A raised beach of giant smooth boulders in a steep valley, easy to reach from a small car park. It is quiet compared with the beaches further south. At low tide there are rock pools and sand.

Good to know

  • Small car park, fills up
  • Wear proper shoes for the boulders
  • Cape Cornwall is a short drive
