The Strangles Beach

Suppose I am biased, living locally, but consider this beach very special. Yes, its a fair old stomp down with a teeny bit of abseiling at base - and back of course.  CHECK TIDES AND BE SENSIBLE about your visit.  In this over-crowded, molly-coddled country its too easy to imagine help will come if you have a problem - but plenty of families have found its glorious natural joys and delights.  Just take your litter home please.

My favourite beach so far. Beautiful, lots to explore, plenty of golden sand, rocks and pools. A lovely walk down, with views. And always parking and peace.

What an amazing place. This is an absolute gem of a beach, it’s a long walk from the road and could be quite demanding if you’re not fit but, if you can walk the route down you are rewarded with a beautiful sandy beach. Because of the tough walk I guess not too many people come here. I went yesterday (Friday) and there were only about 10 people in total enjoying this paradise. No shops and no toilets, so I guess this is another reason that not may people venture to this spot. Although the walk is a tough one it is worth it just for the views.
I will be back….probably tomorrow.
Oh, you’ll need to check the tide times too.

We found it difficult to find and we seemed to walk a long way to get to the beach but hey ho all part of the fun . An absolute gem of a find though , hardly anyone else there so perfect for us , best word to describe this beach is Paradise , it’s 23 degree here today and it’s amazing , who needs to go abroad …

We visited for the first time on the Summer Solstice when the low tide and evening weather were both perfect.  The last part of the descent is a little challenging and the climb back up is quite a workout but all well worth the effort for this beautiful, wild and unspoilt beach that you may have to yourself.

Quite a hike down and up which naturally means it is quite empty. Utterly beautiful.

Beautiful,rugged,sweeping beach.
Fantastic rock formations goladen Sands ,pebbles , quartz veined rocks.
Often no one there,
The walk down at the right time of year is also beautiful,with Heather and gorse lined paths.

Went here with my family a few years ago, it’s a beautiful secluded beach, it was mid summer and there was only one other family there so definetly a good place to get away from crowds. However while we were swimming the tide turned and swept my dad and sister way out of the bay, the lifeguard were called but thankfully they had bodyboards and were able to paddle back to the beach once the tides calmed a bit, if they didn’t have the bodyboards it could of been a very different story.

A lovely beech but at high tide a pebble beech so bring strong shoes,the climb up and down is quite a hack,so if not strong of knee, don’t attempt it. Top tip take plenty of water .a great place to hideaway .o naturelle at the far end of the beech

This is a fabulous beach even though it is a bit hard to get to. I love that it is not too popular and that it therefore is peaceful.
I also like the privacy so that I can be naked if I want to.
