Fabulous spot and so much easier to get too since there is a path most of the way instead of a rope down a cliff(!). Fascinating collection of "fisherman's huts" cobbled together from all sorts of materials plus the remains of the old harbour and mine. Well worth scrambling down the cliff for.
It is quiet a very beautiful place. You can walk along the cliffs. From here you can enjoy the spectacular view on the sea and Waschung the waves crushing against the cliffs. Very beautiful and astonishing nature.
A beautiful old harbour steeped in history and prehistory; well worth the descent with subsequent ascent, and all credit to the 2 Workers making the path much safer 😃
Amazing beach for ammonites! The climb down is a bit tricky but we managed it with my 5 yr old in tow. They are currently building a staircase down but it's incomplete so there's a little climb where they end, before leading back onto the path. The cliffs crumble and fall constantly so I'd advise keeping a little distance, especially if you have little ones with you. There's plenty fossils on the beach without needing to get too close to the cliffs. The beach itself its beautiful too. I could spend hours here.
Love it here; I feel my soul calm when I’m here. No phone signal so no temptation to check for messages etc. Quirky little beach shacks, lots of fossils to find and basically a stunning place. Can be quite ‘interesting’ getting down there and then back up again but I always wanted to be Lara Croft! LOL. Progress is being made on the steps going down so at some point the ropes won’t be the only way.
