A wonderful Sandy beach around 10 minutes walk from the house (walk through the back of the farm yard and bear right over 3 fields to arrive at the top of cove). Pay attention to the conditions and take advice from the life guards before swimming (there can be a rip tide, particularly when the tide is going out).
