A sand and shingle beach in a rural setting

This beach is less commercial than the neighbouring ones and is reached by steps that run down the wooded cliff from the castle grounds. There are good views to the Isle of White and the sand and water are clean and safe.

The beach has limited facilities and the nearest toilets and refreshments are in the castle grounds at the top of the cliff.
