Access

Park in Basset Cove Car Park and either do rock climbing down to Basset Cove in front of the car park, or walk the coast path to the next cove which is still tricky but slightly less dangerous to get to the beach.

Description

Basset Cove which is the beach below the parking area and is a nice swimming spot on a calm day, but you do need to be confident at a bit of rock climbing 50m above the ground to get over the rocky section at the top of the path/track down to the beach. We recommend walking along the coast path towards Porteath (two steep down and ups) and going down at the next cove which has a waterfall off the cliffs onto the beach. No beach at high tide.
