stunning setting although parking and getting there by car is over an unmade and slightly overgrown track at points. Best to park at Docton Mill gardens and walk down, unless you're not precious about the odd bramble scratch on your car. Steep steps to the pebble beach and a dip in the waterfall pool for the more daring.

a stunning cove but be aware of the tide and don't sit too close to the cliffs as there are rock falls.

low tide is best and it is a steep walk down. But a stunning beach with lots of caves to explore and from the top a rock called elephant rock to spot.
