03 · Location

In context.

A small, sheltered SE-facing cove beneath limestone cliffs, split by a rock formation, with calm water for swimming, snorkelling and diving rather than surfing or wind/kite sports; seas turn rough in winter. The seabed is rocky on the right, with submerged-rock hazards and tidal pools. Swimming is barred outside designated bathing areas nearby. Lifeguarded mid-June to mid-September. Best at low tide, when a rock tunnel to a neighbouring beach opens.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
