Spit Beach
The upper part of the beach is sandy and there is a beach at all states of the tide. At low tide, a rock platform is revealed with rockpools. The beach faces south so it gets the sun all year. After storms, the beach is strewn with seaweed ripped from the rock platforms by the sea. On the headland on the left side of the beach there's a WW2 pillbox.
The only access to Spit Beach is on foot from the coast path (or by sea).
