This beach, a nightmare to get to, is sandy in its main part, lovely for walking and dawdling but not suitable for swimming or any other water sports - long thin ridges of granite and slate run out to sea, exposed when the tide is out. Today it is like the first glorious day of spring, and at low water you walk past large boulders at either end of the beach, to find lots of small rocky, shingly coves to dawdle in.
