This lovely little sandy beach lies to the south of Torre Abbey Sands, close to Abbey Meadows. With colourful beach huts and interesting rock pools, the beach is very popular with families.
Corbyn Head, the headland above the beach, seems to have been the inspiration for Baldy's Head in Agatha Christie's novel Postern of Fate.
Access:
Sand/shingle beach. Access is easy from the road. There is a slipway down to the beach and a short promenade.
Dogs:
Banned from beach during summer season. There is a dog exercise area on Torre Abbey Meadows.
