A tiny working harbour reached through a historic tunnel cut in the cliff, tucked beneath dramatic rock. Photogenic and quiet, but only a calm-conditions swim: the harbour wall drops to deep water fast and there's no managed facilities.
Small hidden harbour reached via a tunnel through the cliff; picturesque but fragile/less-robust than a managed beach — approximate framing plus 'be respectful' note; access is legal via the tunnel path.
Small car park above the cliff at Cove.
Access via a historic tunnel cut through the cliff down to the harbour.
