Beautiful beach for swimming there is a section where it is calm and minimal waves at around lunch time

Disability Access Not the best spot for disability access. You have to walk about 5 minutes from the side road entrance into the car park, and it’s definitely not wheelchair‑friendly. The path and access points are tricky if you have mobility issues. But once you actually get down to the beach — especially at low tide — it’s absolutely beautiful. The rocks and rock pools have amazing colours, and it’s a lovely place to explore. The water is easy to swim in for everyone, which makes the effort worth it if you can manage the walk. Great place for scenery, but not ideal for wheelchair users or anyone needing smooth access.

Really relaxing beach and waves were relatively calm when we went last weekend (obviously still look out for rips though!). The water was super clear and pretty in areas too.

A beautiful beach, perfect for long walks. There are so many rock pools full of sea life. You can hop along past the rocks and find caves and secluded beaches. Its not patrolled but waves on the beach weren't that choppy when we were there, excepts for the evening and night swells. Overall, so darn beautiful, perfect place for photography 📸
