Access

Watcombe Beach Road Car Park has lots of space and is up the hill from the beach. After parking walk down the road and past the barrier, so cars can no longer drive down. The road is broken up in places and has steps near the bottom.

Description

Super swimming spot. The toilets and café are derelict. Good for wildlife and seals. A swim to Bell Rock is possible and a great choice if you are able and the conditions allow.

    The beach closed sign has now been removed. All tides are possible for swimming but Mid-High tide is what I prefer due to less rocks in the shallow waters. The right side of the cove at low tide has less rocks if swimming then.
