Access

Walk onto the beach at low tide and head to the cliffs on the right side. The pool is near the bottom of the cliffs, but you need to climb up the rocks to get to it. You can't see it from the beach. Use our what3words for the location.

Description

One of the best sea tidal rock pools in the area. Big enough to do a bit of swimming, not massive but a lot better than others. Under the cliffs on the right/north side of the beach. Low tide only.

    One of my favorite local sea pools. Only possible when the tide is out.
