Access

Bath Road South/North Car Parks are the closest to the beach and do get full on a sunny day. Slope access to the beach.

Description

The busiest section of this beach. Both sides of the pier have lifeguards in the summer. When there are waves avoid swimming near the pier due to rip currents. This is still a good area for sea swimming, but will be busy on a summer's day. It is only a short walk down to Durley Chine for a quieter swim.
